Monitor Menu
ON/OFF/AUTO
This setting controls whether the built-in monitor is on or off when in
Operating Mode. When set to ON, the monitor will always be on.
When set to OFF, the monitor will always be off. When set to Auto, it
will turn on automatically when recording. (This setting also applies to
the output for the external monitor if enabled.)
While recording, the monitor can be toggled off and on by briefly
pressing the MENU/6 Button.
Brightness
The brightness of the internal LCD monitor can be adjusted with this
setting (1 is the dimmest setting and 9 is the brightest setting).

be turned back on by pressing the MENU/6 button when the
Digital Ally splash screen is displayed during system startup.
