battery life

[Martygervz]

Wondering if anyone knows how dramatically the battery on the X-T5 is affected if you leave the X camera set to ON. I find it more convenient just to tap on the shutter release button and wake up the camera. Will this drain the battery all that quickly? I thought Ken Rockwell had suggested doing this. I could be wrong.

Sorry, I have only just read this post. The battery life on the x-t5 is a revelation after that of my x-t3. I find that if I set the power setting to time out the camera I can lose a spontaneous shot, as it takes too long to switch on. In addition, if I have the camera on a tripod, taking a landscape, the last thing I want is for the camera to switch off and lose all the settings. With the X-T3 this was an issue due to the poor battery capacity. The X-T5 battery lasts so well that there is no longer a problem.
