Unfortunately, it's a matter of battery longevity in use. When you use
a wired release, a half press, if the release is built properly, will
wake up the camera, however the IR release is part of the electronics,
I'll bet the hardware design won't let it stay active unless some other
power hog is also active. Which means that a hardware redesign is
required and a simple firmware upgrade isn't possible without seriously
degrading battery performance.

So they didn't fix it on the K20D, nor on the K-7? Shocking. No, wait:
Appalling. Pentax doesn't shock me anymore when they do (and sometimes
don't do) random stuff.
