Re: Sleep mode

I use auto power off, set for two minutes. Keep in mind that also puts a limit on how long Live View will stay up.

I remember more than a time or two leaving my old Rebel XT (350D) on in the case between sessions. After it went to sleep the battery drain was so low as to be negligible. I suspect my T8i is even better. I have no worries about the power switch durability. My shutter will probably die first. And I strongly suspect waking up is, if anything, faster than powering up since there's less to do.
