Turning Off the Tally Lamp

The tally lamp lets you know that the camcorder is recording, receiving signals from the wireless controller or counting down for the self-timer. However, its flashing may be reflected into the lens during closeup recording, or when recording through glass.

You may therefore decide to turn it off.
