Is there a redical when you do not turn on the illumination or do you have to use the lum to see the cross hairs?

There is a reticle like a normal scope. It just has the option to illuminate it in darker conditions

I believe what you are referring to is local dimming. Parts on the screen that have content are lit up and parts without content are dimmed down or even turned off. I've noticed that when turning on the TV the bottom left corner is brighter than others which may appear like bleeding but I'm guessing it's related to local dimming. I wouldn't worry about it. I watched dark movie scenes and I don't notice it, the picture is perfect.

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

Yes. There should be a button on the top. When you push it, it changes the color of the light and turns it off. You have to be in the dark to see if the light is off or not.

I'm not sure what type of dimming it has, but it definitely seems to be changing the brightness level on it's own, for some reason. I'd like to disable this feature, if I could figure out how. I turned off "Dynamic contrast" and "Dynamic backlight", but this didn't help.

I don't think so, I turned down the brightness actually before putting it on and haven't felt the need to turn it back up

You can brighten or dim the light. If you dim it all the way it appears as if it is off.

Yes it does. I have only used the illumination once. Other then that never.

Yes, when motion turns it on. When at rest, it is dim. They work very well.

Yes, there is a separate brightness knob for the crosshairs. You can turn them off without effecting the rest of the scope.

It defaults to the steady light mode. If you want something else, you have to step through to it.

The model I got has a backlight. It seems to be on when it is plugged in. You don't really notice it, until it is dim enough to see it.

It doesn't remember the last brightness level. You have to toggle through the 3 brightness levels to turn it off.

No. I had to check and when the switch is up the light on the switch goes off. They only illuminate when they're in the down/off position.

Usually. I have noticed if it is on the brightest setting when you turn it off, it sometimes drops down a notch (it has 4 settings). It only does that on the highest setting and not always. I have the previous year's model of this too and it does the same thing. It could be a safety feature because the brightest setting is really bright.

Without light on or with light completely removed? It works without light on

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.
