I have a request, that I am sure could be helpful to other people too. When the camera goes to sleep as no button is pressed, many settings are lost. I often use the camera on a tripod, working in a studio, taking pictures in succession of an object that changes between pictures. Whenever the camera goes into power save, it loses zoom, distance, self timer, so it has to be set again before continuing to shoot, and that is very annoying. I believe, that before going to sleep, the camera could save these settings in flash memory or other not too volatile memory, so that it comes back in the same state when the release button is again actuated half-way. If other people would not want it that way, it could be a feature to choose.
What is your camera? Canon PowerShot cameras, (presumably all, I could be wrong), allow turning off auto power down! Go to Record Menu>Tools (second window)>Power Saving>Auto Power Down ... select Off. (Menu might vary by model but basics should be similar).
