Everywhere I read says to turn off power you must hold the power button for a few seconds, but mine shuts down the instant I tap the power button.
Is this some thing that has changed in the new firmware??

the top Square button  is the  Power. it will power on  with a short press & power off with a short press.  The  top round is the Shutter  record, it will auto power on with a short press, and  when stopped will give you three seconds to decide to keep on or go to standby.   you do not need to hold the Square down for a longer period of 1 second or more.

Single short press basically puts OA to sleep, from which it can wake up almost instantaneously. Long press tuns it off (confirmed by a notice on the screen) which takes longer. And it also takes longer to come back from a "shut down". The difference is merely seconds, but sometimes that might cost you a shot

Obviously the sleep mode will cost you some battery life, but I don't know how significant that is....

Sorry, but that is wrong... There are two different uses of the power button:  Short press puts the OA in sleep, long press turns it off.

Lol lets see:   if I put a stop watch on it? it is still a short press of 1 full second to  shut down, it is a tap   of 1 second to go on stand by.  also I'll add to the note of my am right not right.
