I've heard there is no way to turn off the rear LCD screen while shooting. Is this true?

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.

No and yes.. but you can change the display to not have Live View or just have a black screen with just 'features' listed, similar to a DSLR. A trick would be to have only EVF on in which case the rear LCD would be off...but constantly have the EVF on....battery may only save a little this way...EVF has been said to be a drain as well.

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.

There is no screen on the camera it's self it comes with computer software. It also comes with a cord that can plug into a tv. Yes. You can shut off the rear facing camera in the setting in the computer software providedHope this helps. I love this camera

Yes you can turn the volume all the way down on your video screen so you dont hear the cameras. And i think you can turn each camera off, but you cant turn the sound off on the individual cameras; only on the monitor you use to see/listen.

Adrian, I also have the Fiji FinePix HS10 which I settled on after using the Sony H50 and the Nikon P100. When sounds are unwelcome it's possible to silence the camera completely by pressing and holding the DISP/BACK button for a few seconds or selecting Silent Mode ON in the setup menu. And in situations where the single frame delay means you're likely to miss what you want you can use the Continuous Shooting mode which offers numerous frame choices in both RAW or RAW+JPG. Very useful I've found. I love this camera. But I've also discovered the Sony HX5 which is pretty incredible.

The rear camera should show up automatically as a mini pip in the upper right corner of the screen. You can use the remote up and down buttons to switch the positions on the screen. If everything fails, you probably got a dud as I did. Returned it, got another from another on-line company and it works great!

I just ordered this camera so I haven't tried it yet but I have other Canon's and this is how it is done: look at the back of the camera. There is the larger round circle on the right. On the right of the circle there is what looks like a lightning bolt. Press that and it should turn off the flash. Press it again to turn it back on. Hope that helps. UPDATE***** I received my camera so here is an update. In order to turn the flash off the camera has to be set to "program" rather than "auto". Looking at the back of the camera there is a button at the top right. When you have it pushed up where it says "auto" the camera will determine if the flash is needed. If you push it down to the little camera icon it goes to "program" and allows you to set the flash on or off. So to turn off the flash push the top right button down to the little camera icon. Then press the right side of the round circle where the lightning bolt is. At the top of the LCD screen it shows the flash options. Push the right of the circle until the flash off option is highlighted and then press the "func. set" button (in the center of the circle button). Hope that's not too confusing.

Hi, as I understand, you want to flip the screen and don't take a selfie? This function gets activated only if you fully turn the screen toward yourself. Why would you do this if you don't want to take a selfie? (If you don't want a selfie just use ir in a normal way). I don't know if I understood your question. The camera just use the front len.

Hi. The display screen on the back of the front camera can be switched between a split screen view of front and rear view or just front or just rear. A few clicks to determine which view you prefer.I leave it on split screen.

The screen will time out or you can turn the screen off. I just walk around with extra batteries, they are small. This camera is great for making very large prints. It can be tricky to use but great results. Every bad thing that you have read is true but the end result makes it worth the effort.

Even on asian version you can turn off shutter sound. Just search internet how to enable shutter sound menu.

You're right. The only way to see the results of your shots is to shoot the lower left button which will light up the main display, and then shoot the right button to clear the display.

Yes it can be turned off. Note the yellow icon on the lower right hand corner of the screen. Touch it lightly and it will turn black. The touchscreen is now turned off. Touch it again and it will turn back to yellow, and the touchscreen is then turned back on. I carry mine turned off. You can access the settings via the Menu button or via the Function button. You don't need the touchscreen to operate the camera nor to use the settings.

Hi Jeran B., you can go to MENU then [SETUP] then [Shooting Settings] then look for [Live View Display], then select on [Setting Effect OFF]. This will remove the display info of the screen. -Ely

If you can, I have not been able to figure out how. It is the only negative aspect of the camera, as far as I am concerned. If I wanted my kids to play electronic games, I would buy them. I bought a camera. It is an unfortunate feature. I wish it was just an optional add-on.

Don't turn the screen off. You can put the screen into screen saver mode (scan) so the screen will stay dark until a camera detects motion. The screen will come on, during the recording, and then go black again. You can choose to record only the camera that triggers the recording, or record up to 4 cameras simultaneously.
