Any success bypassing the automatic turn off feature?
Has there been any development on disabling the automatic turn off feature?
I tried to google, but couldn't find any solutions.
Trying to decide between Swarovski z6i 1-6x24 and Leica Magnus 1-6.3x24 and the auto-off seems to be a deal breaker for IPSC usage.
Did you read the toiminta-ampujat forum? I think one managed to turn the feature off by removing the battery while the power was on and that trick made the "auto cant power off" feature dissapear.
I sure did.
There was no finite method for this and above was achieved by just trying different stuff: press buttons, power on/off, remove battery, etc. (even possibly breaking the auto-off).
I also asked leica support and they said that it can't be officially done.
So I finally went with Swarovski as it was lighter, had the auto-off and the price difference was not significant.
