The RBT X3 is based on the Ricoh XRXP3F and has the same 
problem. It is compounded when I use the RBT Macro Attachment 
as you have to use the shutter release on the macro to trigger 
everything. When you are trying to maintain macro focus on a 
moving bug waiting for him to get in just the right spot and 
then find the camera has gone to sleep is just plain 
frustrating! I have taken to the method of keeping the camera 
switched off until I think I am ready to make the shot, then 
switch it on and have the 10-30 seconds to frame the shot 
before it goes back to sleep.

Has anyone else using Ricohs noticed a difference in the sleep 
time? I sware sometimes it seems like 10 seconds and others 
30. Maybe I am just too engroosed in capturing my subject and 
time flies *{;-)

That's all for now,
