Hit Thumbnail button to turn off thumbnails. This allows you to use LCD display to
monitor incoming video if you’re using camera as a recorder, and allows you to
access a second MCR menu (by hitting menu in Blue Screen mode) with recording
setup, playback setup, and display setup controls.

To access the camera’s PC mode, enter MCR mode and then continue to hold
down the mode switch button. PC mode is used for things like outputting directly
from the camera to a computer hard drive. Since you are not allowed to use the
FW port on the camera, you will probably never need to use this camera mode.
