Being concerned by the lack of a power saving option and using my red one off-stage most of the time, I get sore while I figure my battery pack going down powering... the screen in the back of the camera, since almost all the data on this screen are available in much more accessible monitoring options (evf or lcd). How much power is that screen draining ? No idea...If substantial, why not have its light go off automatically, and get it on again by pushing any user key/joystick or whatever ? If not substantial, well, just one more silly question !
