No. You csn cover it with tape and use a IR flashlight or an illumanator you cant see because this illuminator on the unit, you can see it.

No. You can put something in front of it, but it will decrease the image quality.

There is a faint red glow visible when looking into the end of the IR illuminator when it is switched on. You can't see it from very far away though.

Yes, you can turn the light off. The unit will still diffuse without it being on.

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

No. The night light can be turned off, but the display panel is always on, and the blue leds are brighter than you might expect. I tried to tape some cardboard over it, but there's still a glow and it interferes with the hygrometer.

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

Previous answer indicates it can be turned off. I find it's pretty dim, and isn't a distraction for me.

thats actually the backlite on the screen - if it can be turned off the user manual should tell you how --

Yes, you can make it so that the colored lights are off. There is a small light indicating the unit is on, but it is small and on the back of the unit.

Absolutely! The illumination level can be reduced in all colors or white light with the IR remote. This is a really nice system.

Yes you can turn the projection off. My husband and I leave it on during the week so I can see the time on the ceiling, but turn it off on weekends. It has a nice blue glow so it doesn't hurt your eyes.

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.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

No, you can't and it can be distracting if you're using the unit for relaxing, sleeping, etc. What I've done is to put a small thin canvas piece of cloth around it; it blocks the strong led light and yet you can see some of the led light for interpreting what the unit is doing. Hope it helps.

No, you cant turn the LEDs off. But, it's a very pleasant soft light so I've never wanted to.

Yes, you can turn off the IS. The new version II super telephoto models (such as this one) have a new additional IS mode that will only activate as you trigger the shutter - the image in the viewfinder will not be shaking about while you're sighting things up prior to taking the shot as was the case in older models or other IS modes. Hope that helps. Mark
