Power Save not working

[jpalik]

I am new to the a7 iii. The power save (Menu - Setup2) does not appear to be working. After experiencing several instances of taking my camera out of my bag and finding it warm I checked the battery that was 100% several hours earlier to be almost depleted. I checked the Power Save Start Time and it was set to 2 Min. I have since tested it by setting the camera with live view on in the monitor and reviewing when turns off. It never does.

Is there some other setting that is conflicting with the power turning itself off? Does my camera need to be repaired?

I look forward to your answer.

Jim

Do you have Remote Control enabled? The camera will not sleep if it is waiting for a remote trigger.
