Hi everyone, I’m working on a low-power camera application using the EOS S3, and I’m trying to optimize power consumption during intermittent image capture (e.g., capturing 1 frame every few seconds). Currently, I see higher-than-expected power draw even when the system is mostly idle between captures.

Has anyone here successfully minimized power usage in a similar use case? Specifically:

Which sleep mode works best between captures?
Are there recommended ways to fully gate the camera interface or MIPI block when not in use?
Any tips for reducing wake-up latency without increasing overall power consumption?

Appreciate any insights or examples from real projects!

great post

What sleep mode are you currently using between captures?

I ran into the same issue on EOS S3, and the key insight for me was that “idle” isn’t really low power unless you explicitly shut things down.
