Can the camera keep shooting with the LCD door closed?

If you close the LCD screen while recording movies, the camcorder stops recording.

Kristopher, I don't think you can shoot stills or video since the power comes on when you open the LCD door, Norchi

It does not. When you close the LCD the shutter closes. I think you have to go to the next up model that has a viewfinder to be able to keep shooting with the LCD closed.

If you rotate it 180 degrees so it's facing forward first, yes. It can not be closed and turned on... in fact, to turn it on, you open the door.

Go to "settings - power on by LCD". Switch it to off and enjoy! There is button "power" to switch it on and off under LCD screen.

In bulb mode it holds the shutter open until the set time elapses. I think this is accomplished by keeping an electrical circuit closed for the set time.

Yes, the batteries and the SD card are stored in the same compartment in the bottom of the camera. If you try and force the battery door to close and lock when it's not in position, you'll probably break it. That's what people do. The door is only plastic. If you open and close the battery door carefully and slide it into the locked position without forcing it, you'll be OK. I've had my Canon for two years and have not had any problems with the door, and I've changed the batteries and SC card more time than I can remember.

Haven't tried anything of an extended duration. The button can 'slide' locking the shutter open, and upon 'clicking' the control will release, closing the aperture. I would assume this would stay open as long as the juice held up in the camera.

Yes you can, it works great, every time I shoot outdoors I use it, fit well in the LCD screen, my only objection is the key control if you want to zoom in and move the image, but not grat deal. Buy it.

No, the camera gets loose and you can't control the buttons. Besides that, the lens do not feet the 'hole' (in case you are thinking of start recording and close the mount), the black border keep apearing in the image.

Honestly, you can't. However, the shutter release seems to have very little drain on the batteries so unless you leave them in while storing it for a long time, it'll probably still work.

I've never had that problem although I do know that you really need to hold the button down until you hear the shutter click almost an old-fashioned film camera or the picture won't take. Hope you find a solution to your problem!

Aloha Phi, Yes it can if you set your camera to bulb, the remote switch has a locking mechanism that slides over the switch to continuously keep the shutter open. You'll have to manually time yourself though, as no timer is built in.

You can put your camera on the continuous shooting mode and as long as you depress the button, it will continue to shoot. I do not think you can set the self timer to automatically do the same.

yes, once you set the shooting mode to continuous it will keep shooting as long as you keep the remote button pushed. i personally don't use it much this way but i have tested it and it works fine.

Indirectly, yes. In manual mode with the shutter set to bulb, change release mode to remote. Press remote button to start the exposure, press again to stop.

Yes this is possible. The camera can both trigger an alarm system when it detects motion or be triggered by an alarm system to start recording images. It has connections where both inputs and outputs can be hooked up. Your door switch would be acting as the alarm signal.

No. Even one of the low profile usb drives will keep the door from closing completely.

You cannot. All you can do is half press the shutter button to force it to become ready for the next shot. There's no option to completely turn off the feature like the older Z cameras had.

Yes. You slide the tab under the switch button. You don't have to hold the button down for a long exposure.

Close the panel door and hold it down for 4 or 5 seconds. The LCD will go from MAN to AUTO. :)
