You did turn it off. When you open the battery door (or the CF card door) a microswitch turns the camera off. "Be seeing you."

apersson850 Obviously it's a good thing  More info | Just be careful with these cheap multimeters if you do some work on things with higher energy levels, like the mains supply. Anders

These meters have a nasty habit of exploding in your face if you by accident connect them in current mode to a live voltage. Especially the 400VAC we have in our houses in this part of the world. No doubt. But used within their specified limits they should be OK. Connecting an ammeter across a voltage source is going to blow something up every time, but one would hope it would just be a fuse in the meter. "Be seeing you."

The lens contacts are still powered with the switch turned off. Only removing the battery removes power from the lens. "Be seeing you."
