Hi, I have assigned "turn off screen" to a button on my EOS M6 and frequently use that. Not sure if it is better than sleep mode.

Dolivaw,

I'm not really knowledgeable about all these things, but as I understand it, if the camera is not turned off, or put to sleep, the image stabilization functions are still working, which drains your batter faster.

I don't know about IBIS but my IS lens uses no power unless I've half-pushed the button, and then only for a few seconds unless I hold it down. So it's not draining power just sitting in the case with the camera on.
