Abstract:
1. A method of changing power states of a remote device using a camera body, comprising: detecting at least one first camera body signal that is generated as a function of a user actuation of at least one camera body control, said detecting of the at least one first camera body signal including detecting a camera body wake signal; generating a first power state change signal in response to said detecting of the at least one first camera body signal, said generating of the first power state change signal including generating the first power state change signal in response to said detecting of the camera body wake signal; transmitting the first power state change signal so as to cause the remote device to operate at a first power state; implementing a preset delay; and causing the remote device to change from the first power state to a second power state different from the first power state in response to expiration of the preset delay.
