Canon R6 Mark ii sitting on my desk, has been turned off for at least an hour.
The access lamp will periodically flash/flicker, and camera makes a brief noise similar to focus noise. IT will do this periodically for a bit then stop. Then a bit later will do it some more.
Battery is in, one card is in. Nothing touching the camera, and camera is OFF.
Given the camera is supposed to be turned off, it sounds like a call to Canon Tech Support 800-OK-CANON
cheers, TREVOR

I have r3ad of people having this kind of problem when they still have their Bluetooth connection enabled. You have to cancel the pairing, or put your camera in Airplane mode.
Others traced the problem to IBIS still running.
Others have traced the problem to the GPS location function still running.
Others have traced the problem to a third party adapter.
Update: The camera was apparently being "pinged" by some "find bluetooth devices" app my son was using around the house. R6 was doing it too. Silly me thought "OFF" meant OFF.
I guess maybe this is handy feature if you want to access the camera with the app, even when turned off?
I now have "Airplane mode" on one of my custom Menus. Thank you.
