Turning Off the LCD Monitor Backlight

The LCD monitor uses a fluorescent lamp for backlighting (see page 56). In order to reduce battery consumption, you can turn off the lamp when backlighting is not necessary (e.g. when you are recording a fixed scene).

Hold down the DISPLAY button. Three seconds later, “LCD LAMP OFF” starts flashing on the monitor. Keep the DISPLAY button down for three more seconds, and the backlight will turn off.

DISPLAY button

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

Note:

•Turning the backlight on and off repeatedly may deplete the battery power.
