Played with E-M10 again today

I happened to be near a big electronic store today so I dropped in to look at the E-M10 again.  It has been a few months since I handled one.  Never was much interested in it before.  The buttons are definitely a step up from the E-M5 and makes using it a bit less fiddly.  I checked the turn on speed and it seems to be about 0.5 seconds.  That is a bit better than my E-M5.

I especially wanted to check the wake up from sleep mode speed, but for some reason I could not get the darn camera to go to sleep.  I set the sleep time to 1 minute and then set the camera down on the counter and stood about a meter away while I played with an E-M1.  The camera never went to sleep even after 5 minutes.  I then checked the menu again and verified it was set to sleep after 1 minute so tried again.  Turned the camera off and then back on.  Still wouldn't go to sleep.  After 10 minutes of fooling around with it I gave up.  The camera would not go to sleep.  My E-M5 is also set to 1 minute and it goes to sleep.  I thought there was a chance that the eye sensor of the E-M10 had something to do with it so I made sure the eye sensor would detect nothing near it and nothing moving anywhere in its vicinity.  Still the E-M10 would not go to sleep.  Darn.  The thing I was most interested in checking was the wake up speed.
