That said, these cameras do not turn off when you turn them off, they go in deep sleep so they can wake up fast. When storing for longer time you could pop the battery out and back in after powering off - this will definitely power the camera down. Any discharge is then due to the battery itself (every battery has some non-ideal internal resistance).

Excellent; this totally makes sense!
