Power on takes a long time !

Hi @Markus Burkhardt, the long-press-to-power-on is a requested feature many months ago, many users were complaining that their batteries would be dead by the time they actually need to take snapshots. The long press may be the best solution (a compromise) to keep the camera from powering on since it is usually kept in a bag and is prone to be accidentally pressed.

I still remember when people kept asking for the power-on press to take longer.
Now that there's a quick-capture option and more people are using it, the long press is in the way. LOL

@Markus Burkhardt
Go to General Settings (the "gear/cog" icon on the left of the menu) then look for "Fast Record" and "Quickly Photo"
What they do is, when the camera is turned on, it goes straight into either recording a video, or taking a snapshot

 

Quickly Photo is when you want the camera to power on and the camera takes an instant snapshot.

Fast Record, on the other hand, tells the camera to go straight into recording a video when you power it on. For this one, the soonest you press the shutter button again to stop the recording, the camera will power off after 10 seconds, indicated on-screen as a countdown timer.

They took out the fast power on after people complained like I mentioned above. Even the shortest button-press turns the camera on, even when inside your bag.
So to avoid inadvertently shooting videos or photos of the insides of people's bags and waste battery power, they requested the long-press power-on. This new procedure cannot be cancelled as it is built right into the firmware to only do that.

You may choose to revert back to an older firmware but you lose other updates and new features as well. I personally prefer the long-press over older firmware.
