Not sure if this has been already discussed (if so - my apologies). Just realized that having the "remote wakeup" option enabled in the Fotos sub-menu causes a steady consumption of power from the battery. After just a couple of days, even with the camera switched-off and the remote function not used from the mobile phone the then fully charged battery was completely dead and it was impossible to switch-on the camera before not using a new battery. While I was pretty clear about the fact that this remote function would result in some kind of power consumption it is a surprise how quick the battery is completely empty and needs some hours to be re-charged. Therefore, in case there is no specific need to have this remote wakeup function enabled you might want to change your settings to avoid surprises.

btw.: the remote wake up itself works perfectly....if needed you can connect Fotos app to your camera without getting it out of the bag or switching it on.

Thank you very much! Just today I was wondering why my battery after two days without use was so low. Meanwhile I’m sure why. 
I will switch of this wake up call option.
