5D MkIII Wake up on Button press

(1/2) > >>

RLJSlick:
Hiya everyone, I'm new here, but been a fan of Canon Rumors for a long time. Quick question; with my 7D when my camera went to sleep, all I had to do is click a button to wake it up. This doesn't seem to happen with my 5D mk III, I have to turn it off and back on to wake it up. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mt Spokane Photography:
See page 55 of your manual.  If its set to sleep, a button press should wake it up.  Works for me.

RLJSlick:
Thanks right, that's how it should work, but I figured it out. My battery after only few uses were almost dead, so I'm guessing that's the reason. Thanks for the assist.

Viggo:
The real problem with that is that the 5d3 is VERY slow to wake up compared to other Canon's....

"My battery... were almost dead,"

By chance were you using a BG-E11 with one battery in it. I know mine will not wake from sleep under that condition and needs a power OFF-On to start it up again
