Display Settings

How do I remove the display during recording? We are running the live feed directly to a computer to capture on the computer.

We struggled with this. If you go to playback mode then press home, under other settings you are supposed to be able to turn off the onscreen display.

This didn't work, though we only tried it with the AV out.

In the end, we got a clean output feed by just entering decoration mode whilst recording, but this does mean you lose the onscreen display on the camera too.

BTW this was for an HF M50

Boom I got it. Hit the Home button, then Camera Mode, then Switch to Manual. Now hit Home button, Other Settings, little wrench looking icon, now Output Onscreen Displays is there in the place you already look 10 for it and it wasn't there. You're welcome
