Mirror flips down during Intervalometer Silent Shoot

[brockelmand]

Using a 700d. When i set the intervalometer (5s intervals) with silent shoot enabled in live view mode, it takes about 6 pictures before the mirror flips down due to being idle. Then it won't take any more pictures until I touch a button to bring live view back up. I feel like I must be missing something obvious, but I looked through the userguide, FAQ, and searched the duplicate questions and could not find anything about this.

Settings

Intervalometer
-Take a pic every 5s
-Start trigger leave menu
-Start after 5s
-Stop after disabled
-Manual FocusRamp OFF

Silent Picture
-Silent mode simple
-File format DNG

Sorry for the noob question. Thanks for any help you can give.

Consult your camera manual about "Auto Power Off".

Thank you so much. I feel like a doofus. I even checked the LCD power down but somehow missed this.
