YES!! You just have to disable "power on w/monitor" in the general settings.

no, this screen operates like a pull down window shade. You have to pull it back closed

This can be turned on/off via the settings. But it has no function, so if the camera is working it doesn't matter.

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

Yes if you can use a remote on your camera then your screen will work also. It will display what your recording or watching

That's a computer question, not camera. The camera will operate as long as the computer keeps it online.

Unfortunately, no. It has two magnets to keep the cover closed, it does not, however, activate the automatic screen turn off.

yes, just depends on your laptop settings. Have to configure the laptop power settings to not turn off the laptop or go to sleep mode when the lid is closed. That is how I used it. Though I don't use it anymore, because the video output quality was poor. I often ran into visual glitches...

No, but there is a small light embedded in the screen cover, beside the camera len, that you can toggle on/off with fn+space.

Yes. The lens cover automatically opens and closes with powering action (ON/OFF) caused by the position of the LCD.

Yes. When the cover is closed the tablet screen goes off. When the cover is opened the screen comes on.

Yes, the screen will go dark when cover shuts. You hear a little click, like a camera shutter. When you open, you simply press the button and it wakes up.

The camera is at the top of the screen, but of course if you were holding the screen sideways it would be on the side..

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.

Not that I am aware of although I never researched it because it did not concern me. The camera does shut down on its own when not in use for a while Not sure if this really answers your question.. sorry
