In doing time lapse turning the camera on and off repeatedly is not too likely.
With an X-Pro1 I can use the cable release rather than another electronic toy.
Am looking at how the low capacity battery problem might be overcome.
I wouldn't say it so much turns the camera on and off, but rather goes in and out of sleep mode, so you can preserve battery life.
I think its pretty darn likely that is how it works as I recall the feature pretty well and Ian, who's likely got the camera right in front of him stated this as well.
I do have an XPro sitting here on my desk and while you can indeed use a cable release to trigger the camera, your still going to run into battery issues because when the camera is on, the sensor feed is active (even with OVF active) and its drawing power. Doesn't really matter how you trigger the shutter, still going to suck current the whole time.
XT1 is by far the best bet for time lapse, or at least extended period time lapses
