Multiple reports indicate a problem with the 6d sleep mode when remote controlling the camera with iOS or Android: After some time of inactivity the camera disappears off the grid and you cannot activate it remotely again. This is esp. tedious for wildlife shooting or when the camera is positioned in awkward places for special shots.

Request: Add an option to the 6d to disable wifi sleep mode, probably by automating the current workaround ("ping" = do something now and then).

Edit: Doh, the user on CR that reported the problem didn't know about the "power off" setting in the camera, so forget about this.

Yea, it never fell asleep on me... the LV sending works for anyone? It locks up my camera with error 80. If someone can run the LV through fone or PC for more than a minute and has no freezing please post a dm log.
