Each time you put the camera away. turn the shutter speed dial to "B"!!!!!!! This shuts off the meter completely. This shutter release situation has caused many of us "battery drain" problems for ages until someone points it out. Although I understand in the new M6 manual it mentions about turning the shutter speed dial to "B" Hope this corrects your battery problem. ted
