Is there a way to turn off the lighted buttons on the bottom while still having the unit on and recording?

At the moment, there is not which is disappointing since it may be a cause of not only draining the battery slowly but also a little annoying when using it at night and day. I will look into this more and report back to you when I find a solution, well if I do.

Hold down the power button until the blue light goes off. The buttons are sort of stiff so it takes a marginal amount of effort.

I seem to recall you can through the menu. If I get a moment I'll check it out but there was an option,I think, that allows you to turn off the sound. I thought of turning mine off but decided to leave it on so that I know it's working.

The unit turns on when it starts to record a program. Right after you shedule a future program, you can turn off the machine with the relote. It should turn off, if it does not, either it is recording a previously recorded program or the unit is defective. The remote buttons are not very good. sometimes you have to press a few times.

I have not experience this problem as when I press the ON button, the lights came on and I proceed with recording.

Yes. Mine has blue lights around the bottom. You can turn them off as well.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

Yes. I don't remember the setting in the menu right off, since I rarely turn it on.

Dear Derek, We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Unfortunately, we do not have the option to turn off the LED during playback. Thanks

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

When you plug it in, it turns on and starts recording automaticaly. There is a button to pause recording if you want. When you unplug it, it turns off in a little while or you can just press the on/off button to turn it off manually

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 slide the button to turn it on & it starts recording & records until it's charge runs down or you shut it off.

Top left button turn camera on and off. When it blinks red it records. Took me a few times to figure out.

Yes there is an option to turn video off by putting the contrast down and still be able to hearAlso the video can be shut down after being idle for certain amount of minutes
