Jim,


The R8 will turn itself off, or go into sleep mode if not used after a short 
period, as does the DMR. ?Now if you store it in a bag where the release is 
accidentally pushed it will turn on again and run down the battery. ? The 
biggest drain on power with the R8/DMR is the LCD, if you use it in auto 
review mode, and it really eats up power in this mode. ?I found that if you 
turn off auto review, the battery lasts a significantly longer period, at 
least 2 SD cards worth of shooting.


Cheers,
Gene
