How do you switch off your camera: with the on/off buttom on the DM-R
or on top of the camera? Or are only the camera-electronics turned
off by the camera itself after a few seconds/minutes? This auto-off-
function
seems to create your 'problem' to my opinion. I have checked this on
my R8/DM-R and it acts like your R9/DM-R. Just touch one of your 3
release-buttons
and the camera-electronics are switched on and the EV functions work OK.!

How is it turned off now? Which button or dial?
