Canon 80d & Canon 580ex II Speedlight

I have these "connected" via pocket wizards. When doing a shoot and if camera is not used for a few minutes, then I try to use the camera the speedlight shuts off/sleeps. I have to "wake" the speedlight to resume. Was not a big deal but has started to annoy as I am not using the camera every second and have to wake the speedlight more often. Is this something that happens to speedlight for saving power? Is there something one can do to avoid this from sleeping when camera is not being used and resume without having to wake the speedlight? Thank you in advanced for the help.

Have been dabbing with photography with family events and personal photos to get in my practice. So I don't have much knowledge on the speedlight.

custom function 10 can set the slave auto power off to 60 minutes rather than 10 mintues

Thank you for the help. Will definitely change to 60 minutes.

Hi, I could easily be wrong but I thought CFn 10 applies if the remote unit is a 'Slave' as per 'Canon Wireless speak'.

If the PWs are simple non TTL types, you may need to set CFn 01 to 1 to prevent it 'Sleeping'.

Anyway, one or the other should help.

I have the Pocket Wizard Plus II Transceiver for camera and Speedlite.

OceanRipple* is correct. Set C. Fn 1 to: 1: Disabled.

Thanks guys for the help. If batteries are replaced does that get reset and have to do over again? If so, I can handle this versus having to wake up multiple times.

I've never used PW but are you sure a half press on the shutter release doesn't wake the flash?

That works with the relatively inexpensive YN 622

Edit: never mind, I see these are not TTL hot shoe units, rather, they are made for studio strobes.

My primary use of the PW are used with my lights: https://www.shutterbug​.com/images/0313speeda​tron01.jpg

Here I don't have any problem when using with the camera as it fires every time I use the camera even between breaks.
