[INVALID] EOS-M - Disable LCD screen while shooting video

[scottfrey]

Would it be possible to somehow shutdown the LCD screen (to save power) while shooting video?

Setting the Power Save feature to shut the screen off while shooting video does not work, the assumption being that you need to see what you are shooting I suppose. But if you are shooting on a tripod unattended, you don't.

Perhaps a manual keypress function? Set a timer? (even if you have to reboot the camera to get the screen back, it would be fine, as long as you can stop recording with the record button.

Thanks for being here!

If powersave while recording doesn't work, it's a bug (and somebody with an EOS-M has to look into it).

Usually there are some GUI events that should be ignored (they are internal events that get passed in the same way as button events).

I just tested it on one of the older builds that is currently in my camera.  The turn off LCD feature works fine.  Perhaps scottfrey was looking at the wrong menu or never engaged the command.
