Re: normal. peculiarity of STM

Thanks Lemming51 - that certainly explains it.
I have now found other stories of the STM sleep mode and all is now clear (or blurred)

If I use the same set-up again then I'll need to remember to wake the lens up before taking a shot - trouble is, I cant find any documentation on how long the sleep time is.
