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.

Ken,

After researching this for a little while, I've basically learned that there little or no drain of your battery by leaving your camera on.

There was a discussion on DPR Review back in 2014 I think, where some people talked about leaving their camera on for weeks at a time.

One thing I read was a guy who said, "Some cameras rely upon a small amount of charge from a battery to maintain the settings memory."

Another guy said (and the manual also says) that if you leave the camera connected to another device by way of Bluetooth, the camera will continue to search for a Bluetooth connection, even if the camera is Auto Power Off state, which will drain your battery.

That was about the only thing I saw.
