Turning Off the LCD Monitor Backlight

This camcorder’s LCD monitor uses a fluorescent lamp for backlighting (see page 57). In order to reduce battery consumption, you can turn off the lamp when backlighting is not necessary (e.g. when you are watching a playback on a connected TV’s screen).

While the camcorder is in Camera or VCR mode, hold down the MODE DISPLAY button for more than 5 seconds. The backlight will turn off and the LAMP OFF indicator will light.

To turn it on again, press the MODE DISPLAY button or set the Power switch to OFF, and then back to CAMERA or VCR.
