alex_polimeni Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 <p>Hi<br> I am considering buying possibly a Canon 20D or 30D body and was wondering on the sleep mode. This camera would be on an intervolmeter, but it would need to go into sleep mode to preserve battery in between photos as it may be a few hours to a day apart. I tried a friend's Canon 20D and I needed to turn the camera off and back on again to get it to respond, just clicking the shutter halfway like my T5i won't work. Is it any different on the 30D or should I really look into the 40D? I need it to just wake up from the intervolmeter after a few hours, that is all.<br> Thank you!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickDB Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 <p>I used my old 20D to take one picture a day for a year using an intervalometer without any problems. To preserve battery life you should turn off the screen. I think I changed the battery (which was quite old) every couple of months.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
