Re: New R5 firmware in the works?

I keep my R5 in airplane mode, except when I am actively using its wireless features (which I do, for example, when using my phone as a trigger while having it on a stand doing preservation photography, so I can just manipulate the object and save the time of getting up).

I know it's possible to use your phone as a GPS, too, or a dedicated accessory. Some people may use that. For me, it's never been a concern and I'd rather not spend the battery on that.

R5 batteries usually last me a good long time, though I also have the grip, which I use more for its physical attributes with the battery life coming as a bonus.
