I think there would be battery drain to some extent, as the timer
counts up for how long the shutter has been open (doesn't it?). So
that would take a miniscule amount of energy at least. I can't comment
on the shutter itself, but lets think about it - on an R6.2, I can take
bulb photos without a battery. A clue? Do we have a camera mechanic
in the house?
