The manual specifically says it is a good idea to turn the switch to the "off" position when the camera is not in use. While in use, the camera's displays stay on for 16 seconds, then go into power-down mode; however, it only takes a light touch on the shutter button to turn the displays back on, thus inadvertently causing battery drain. I have had no battery drain problems with Aria because unless I'm taking pictures, I keep the switch off.
