This is a public disclosure of a patentable process for combining the On/Off and Power Save feature on cameras into one function, On/Save Pressure Plates. This disclosure does not grant or imply permission to copy the idea or concept. Involving me in the process of the developing the design would be the right thing to do.
Cameras will be made this way in the near future. I have saved correspondence from Kodak Canada, whereby I disclosed this concept. On - Save is my copy rite title for for the function.
-----------------
History - After the introduction of battery operated cameras, a mechanism was installed to save batteries. The camera would shut down after a period of inactivity. Some cameras allow adjustment of the inactivity time.
Soon after, enough users found the auto save so annoysome that cameras were made whereby power save could be shut off.
(The camera I own has no control over power save and it has been a frustrating product with many lost photo opportunities.)
As per the Attached image, the best system would be pressure points on the handle with quick on as soon as the user holds the camera. Whether the user puts the camera down, or lets the neck strap hold it, the camera would go off as soon as one lets go. This would save batteries. With the quick on capability of modern cameras, when the user puts a hand hold on the camera, it would be on and ready for the shot by the time it is brought to position at the eye.
