How do I turn off the feature for automatic power down on my Canon optura 500 digital video camcorder?

Question

The camera has a power saving feature that shuts down after uninterrupted use. This is problematic for streaming video. How can I disable this feature?

Answer 1

It isn't a flaw - that is how it was designed. It is not a feature that can be disabled.

Answer 2

The auto power off feature is designed to conserve the battery.  This feature is disabled (on some camcorders) when it's plugged into the AC power adapter.
