Does the On-Off button stop power to the Camera or just disable the buttons? The 6D seems to consume a lot of power when off (gps disabled).

The on/off switch on the camera grip only controls the buttons. If you're using non-standard batteries inside the grip, you may want to consider swapping them out if you're having battery life issues.

I have experienced the save thing ever since I've had mine over a year now. Also viewing your shots on the screen of your camera while the power is turned to the on position on your grip you will not have all operations of your camera work properly.

Yes you don't need GPS or WIFI turned on to use the camera. I always leave my GPS off as it can drain the battery faster. I also leave the WIFI off unless I am transferring pictures to my phone.

I have never had a similar problem when shooting in normal mode, BUT i did notice when shooting in HDR mode it drained the battery quickly and processed pretty slowly. I suspect the same is true for Panorama mode. I suspect both of these modes use a lot of processing power. I ended up taking it off of HDR mode and didn't have any problems. I bought a second battery from a guy on craigslist and like having a back-up, but that is more for when we haven't charged it for a while. I'm not sure if I did a firmware update or not.

I haven't used it a lot yet but I think as long as you don't put the TM back in the cradle ( just pull it straight up and lock out of the water so you can use the big motor) the GPS will still be on. If you pull it up and lay it down in the cradle it will turn off electrically. I 'll have to try what I think you are saying!

I don't know about the on/off. I suppose it turns it on and off. This one does not have the motion sensor. I read where that is a bit of a pain, since it starts the pics over at the same place at each restart. But, even there, the random selection scrmables the pics everytime it seems from the second pic. Mine is set to turn off every night at 11:40 PM and restart at about 7:00 AM, and this function works.

Yes, when you pull the notification bar down, it displays four buttons and one of them is to turn on and off the GPS function, takes literally no time at all. You can even turn all forms of GPS off from the phones settings.

No. You dont want it anyways. Its a useless feature that constantly drains the cameras battery even when its powered off.

Yes. It was turned off with the power button. Brand new batteries went dead. You can take out the batteries when not being used. I didn't expect I would have to do that. I already bought a different one anyway.

Yes. Turn off the gps and it will increase the battery life quite a lot. In the owners manual it explains this function. Turn the gps on when you are out taking photos and the at the end of the day turn the gps function off to save battery life. If the gps function is left on, it will be searching for satellites even when the camera is turned off. Get a couple of extra batteries. They do not have to be Pentax batteries, you can get after market batteries and a charger from Amazon for a very reasonable price. That is what I did.

I would not recommend turning the cams off and on but turn the motion activation off and on during height traffic times. This is done on you app or compute

Yes it does. I remember having a heck of a time turning it off. I forget where but you have to go setup. I am not with the camera but it was really not hard.

The D2 defaults to watch mode. The letters are very large and very readable. Stopping the GPS does put the D2 in watch mode and allows the battery to last for weeks without a charge when in just watch mode.

Yes, the manual specifically suggests that the OS function be turned off when mounted on a tripod and when using the camera in bulb mode.

Yes, I have the Canon 6D. This remote work great, first put the camera in remote shooting via the "drive button on top" then shoot. I replace the protective plastic pcs. that came with the battery when I am done, this will stop battery drain if the button gets push while the remote is in your bag. The think is that the 6D has Wifi and I find myself using the remote app on my iPhone more then this remote.

No, you can't turn the camera on and off with this device, just control the various functions such as start/stop recording, zoom, take photos, display, navigation as well as start/stop/pause playback functions. I don't know if the original CANON WL-D89 wireless controller does turn the camera on and off.

I turned mine off. It works but on mine it some times caused shimmer in play back, if you're moving the camera following action. If you're using telephoto and not moving camera or slowly moving camera, then ok. If you want to capture a frame to save a photo then you need it on.
