Last summer I connected my D5100 via HDMI to an HD tv to use at my niece's wedding as a photobooth. The D5100 was on a tripod, I had the camera plugged into AC power and I used a long manual shutter release cord for folks standing in front of a back drop to take photos of themselves as mementos for the couple. Worked really well except for one thing: the camera would shut off after a while of sitting idle in between people using the "booth". Suggestions on how to prevent the camera from shutting off? My other niece is getting married on the 23rd of this month (August 2014) and wants to do the same thing. (I know, a silly use for an exceptional piece of really good equipment, but a fun thing to do at a wedding!)
Thanks folks!
