Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / February 2006Different kinds of OFF for EOS 350D?
Is there any difference in power consumption between manually switching off the EOS 350D and allowing it to turn itself off automatically? I often forget to switch off, and I wonder if I'm running down the battery significantly. Obviously switching off prevents anything from happening if the shutter button gets pushed accidentally, but does it save power?

Yes, there's a difference, but it's not significant over the short term. In other words, during an event I leave the camera on, but I make sure it's off when I get home and remove the card for processing.

Thanks. I'll do the same, and try to remember to switch off for the long term, if I can get my brain to pay attention. Maybe I can get in the habit of turning it off when I put it back in the bag.
