<<< 1) The Canon metering timeout is 6 seconds, not four seconds.>>>>
Still would like it to be longer...especially when trying to fiddle with that
pesky, undersized DOF Preview button after using the program shift function.
If you don't reach the DOF preview button in time then you have to start all
over again dialing in the program shift after partially depressing the
shutter.
<<<2) Exposure information always displayed on the top LCD panel.>>>>
Good point, sometimes I do miss the obvious :>)
Though it still doesn't help with the program shift problem (I don't think).
<<<< 4) The RS60-E3 wired remote will allow remote operation
without timing out. I allows other functions that cannot
be achieved by other means. See:

Neat Page, thanks!
<<<<<5) To wake the camera after a 4 minute wireless remote timeout,
half-press the shutter release button. (Page
6) The last answer is not in the manual.>>>>
This is great...just what I was looking for! When doing macro after spending
time getting everything just so, I would find that I spent more than 4
minutes and always thought that the amount of force it took to turn the dial
from timer to one shot and back to timer again could move the camera a mm or
two and throw close up focus off...seems like a lot less likely to cause a
problem by just depressing the shutter button half way.
<<<There is a fifty-nine cent "custom function" to prevent the
4 minute wireless timeout altogether. The Julian technique
is to use a 2.5mm MONO (not STEREO) plug, similar to:
http://radioshack.com/search.asp?find=9100727
If you insert this into the wired remote socket, the camera
will behave as if you are holding the shutter button half
pressed continuously, and will not timeout.
Until the batteries run out.>>>
Another great solution! But is there any chance that this could damage the
camera in any way?
Thanks for the great suggestions.
