The only thing is that in the instructions it says that >the shutter button has to be in the OFF position when putting the camera >in the bag or just not using it for longer periods, even if the shutter >has been released and the light meter is not active. Can this really be >true? What are other TTL owners' experiences? > >Nathan Nathan, It is true in that if you don't set the shutter speed dial to "off," you risk draining the battery should the shutter release be pressed by anything in your camera bag (especially true if you use a softie).
