Can you shut off the LCD panel while using the view finder?

Yes. That said, you have multiple LCD panal choices...1) black screen that comes alive after you've taken the shot...only live for a few seconds2) always on with no extra data...just the picture last taken3) always on with specific data, a few different options, and the last picture takenI just did this to make sure of my answer.

Yes. By pushing the middle button. In addition, the timer will turn off your light according to your program as well.

You can switch them off by pushing the button, wich would go back to 2D mode.

I'm sorry, but there isn't another way to turn it off, but that being said it is very simple to take off the side panel ^ put it back on again. It isn't like you need a screw driver to do this.

Yes you can; just push the small button with a battery plugged in until it says off in the display.....That's how I did it with mine, good luck.

You can only turn it off with the switch in the back off it, and sometimes that wont turn it off. You may even have to unplug it to turn it off. It has a faux shutoff button on screen but it only turns the video off to make the appearance that the system is off, but in actuality it only turns off the display to the TV.

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

Yes, absolutely. See page 20 of the manual. Select "EVF ONLY" - Viewfinder only; eye sensor turns display ON or OFF. If automatic display selection is enabled, the LCD monitor will turn ON when the viewfinder turns OFF.

Yes, the screen can be turned off while the camera is on and you can take pictures using the optional optical viewfinder.

Sure. Once you have it set the way you like. You can shut it down from the control panel interface. Then just start it back up when you need it.

you can set it for a blank screen...so it would appear to be turned off, which is sufficient for me

As far as I know, no you can't. I have had this camera for a year now and haven't found a way to turn it off

There is a button/switch to select between the view finder or the LCD. If the view finder is selected the LCD is off; if the LCD is selected the view finder is off. When the view finder is selected and you press the playback button, the last picture is displayed on the LCD (and the view finder is blank), and then when you press the shutter button to terminate playback mode and return to shooting mode, the LCD goes blank and the viewfinder is again active.

Yes, you just stop it by pressing the setting button when the white lights are on alone. You can do that for any color.

Janis Knight's response is correct - the LCD screen is always on except when you use the viewfinder when it is automatically turned off while your eye is at the viewfinder. There is no switch to toggle the viewfinder on and off manually.

yes, you could turn off the motion detection. There is no need to active it all the time as it will automatically take photoes when vistors press the button.
