I have had my Canon EOS 400D for a number of years and the handbook is long gone.

I also have a RC-1 remote control, today I thought I would set my camera up on my tripod looking out of the kitchen window to catch some pics of our featherd friends feeding from the bird feeder.

I thought I would turn the camera on, and wait for some birds to feed, and then press the remote, but it shuts down after a few minutes, so every time a bird starts feeding, I have to turn the camera on again and then press the remote.

Is there some setting I can do to leave the camera on?
