Ok, but what happens if you don't pop-up the flash (I imagine the
built-in flash in the smaller IS's can be released or "popped-up" in
much the same way as the G28 in IS-3)? Then you should be protected
against this battery draining, but of course AF would still not work
very well. In IS-3 you can always go power (manual) focus, but I don't
think you can do that in the smaller IS's (a serious drawback with
these?) Is there a warning in the viewfinder to activate flash when
there isn't enough available light for the AF system?
