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.
