The answer to this minor problem for some is quickly answered by doing one
of two things.  remember KISS?  OOPS! Just remembered a third. ;-)

1/ Turn the shutter speed dial to B.. in effect turning the camera OFF just
as though it were a switch.

2/ Trip the shutter before placing camera in bag. Don't whine about the loss
of one frame as you'll probably blow more than one frame shooting anyway.
;-)

3/  Trade it in or sell for some enormous amount and buy.... you guessed
it... a new M7! :-)

See how easy that was.  I knew you'd like it. :-)
