Question: By calling Camera.stopPreview(); It should also free up the Camera device, right. It's the preview that's drawing power I think.
(Anyway, when I handle things that way, I am able to use other Camera apps while mine is pausede, which leads me to believe stopping the preview will conserve battery life.) ?
