Automatic power save problems

Could someone please confirm if your SL also has the following issues. 

When I have the camera in auto mode or EVF extended the camera ignores the automatic power off settings. What’s worse is that the camera will shut itself off if I don’t press any buttons after 10 seconds. In the LCD mode it works like expected. If I turn off the power save mode the camera will stay on.

This is happened on firmware 3.3 and 3.4. I am using a novaflex L to M adapter. 

Is this a firmware bug or is my camera damaged?

Activation of the sleeping (or temporary power-off) mode should be independent of whether you are in the EVF, combined EVF+LCD, or LCD mode. I hardly turn the body off when I shoot; half-pressing of the shutter button quickly awakes the camera for new shooting. So something is odd with your body.

Does yours turn off all the screens within 10 seconds if you have the power save mode active? It wakes very quickly when I depress the shutter. 

My default Power Saving settings are

    Power Saving Mode = Off

    Auto Power Off = 2 min

    All Displays Auto Off = 1 min

Actually, I do not use the "Power Saving Mode = On" - so my response was likely not responding to your question. Sorry for that...

However, when I set "Power Saving Mode = On", the body shuts down after 10 sec when the EVF only is activated. If the EVF+LCD or LCD is activated, the shut down follows the "Auto Power Off" instruction. So it looks like the body I have responds similarly to your body with "Power Saving Mode = On".
