You can decide if you want to see the image or not. Someone in the store must have set it that way. It is nice to be able to turn it off if you know you are trying to save your battery, or are more concerned with taking a lot of pictures together and don't need to look at them until later. The feature is easy to turn off or on.

It is not possible to turn off the display at any time, though you can adjust brightness from 0-100. The best technique to use to conserve battery life is turn the unit off when not in use. This only takes a second or so.

The only way to disable it is to have it on the off position.. hope that helps

You can totally turn off the display on the 2E. There are three brightness settings plus off. I keep mine off. Turn it on when I need to see, then off when I am done.

Yes. If you press "home" button, then scroll down to "settings" and press "enter," then scroll to the right to "preferences" and press "enter," then scroll down to "front panel illumination" and select "off." That should do it.

There is only the LCD viewfinder. In the conditions of higher backlight - often what is sought to illuminate the subject - it is too washed out to accurately compose the pic. I understand this to be a universal complaint with LCD-only finders.

the sensor and the monitor can be turned off. so you have two places to turn it off with a simple switch.

Yes, you just stop it by pressing the setting button when the white lights are on alone. You can do that for any color.

Yes. There is a view-finder on the camera. To use it, just press the little button right next to it and the LED screen goes off and you view through the finder.

Hi Idrow, if you are pertaining to the AF illuminator, yes there is an option to turn it of by going to: MENU - (Settings) - (Shooting Settings) - [AF Illuminator] - OFF. Hope this helps. -Ely

There isn't a way to turn it off. It's only on when it's dark and it's not overly bright. Just enough to be able to see where it is to touch.

Yes, it disables all the buttons which includes the backlight. It is good when traveling with it but not using it at the time.

Turn the numerical brightness dial to "0". I had a similar issue until I noticed the 0 setting turned the sight off.

Only if you press pause and later hit play. The off switch will force you to have fast forward to find where you stopped viewing.

The default mode is "Auto". In this mode, when the camera detects you putting your eye up to the EVF (viewfinder) it automatically turns off the LCD and turn on the EVF. Take your eye away and it turns the EVF off and LCD on. You can also set up the camera via the menus to have only the LCD OR only the EVF turned on. You can't turn them both off at the same time, nor I think, would you want to since it would make it impossible to use the camera.

You can turn it off using the FN key and the dim backlight option until it's off.
