Re: Does the M50 MK2 EVF Sensor keep the camera awake?

I started a thread about this issue a few years back. I'm an M5 user. I got into the habit of turning the camera off before putting it in a holster, because the proximity of the holster lid to the evf kept it awake.

What drives me *really* nuts is the fact that the tilt sensor also keeps the camera awake. I use a wrist strap with mine, so it can tilt whilst I'm holding it and constantly wake itself. If there were a way to disable that I'd be very happy. I know a lot of people turn their cameras off routinely between every shot, but that never seemed natural to me, and I worry about the longevity of the switch.
