More on this supposed Canon 5D-III light leak

Being a family with more than one Canon camera, we were able to test this 'problem' with a 40D, 60D, 7D and the 5D-III.

Guess what? All four do this... BUT you must have the cameras set to Program/AV/TV mode for it to occur. I will say again, if you have already half pressed your shutter button to focus, you aren't going to be reaching to push the LCD light on the LCD panel. It's a futz, a non-issue.

It's not, I repeat NOT, a light leak, it's the cameras trying to lock onto or find a light source to meter for exposure. It does this whether the lens cap, body cap is on or not.
