I don't think I've put it away for any length of time without being set to off. However, if the camera isn't jammed in the bag not turned off and without pressure on the shutter release, I don't see any reason why the batteries should drain quicker without being activated. Battery use only comes into play when you squeeze down on the shutter release. However, someone will undoubtly prove me wrong. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
