6. Viewfinder Features & Display Modes

The display on the back of the MCD functions as a camera viewfinder. By

default, it shows what the lens at the front of the MCD is viewing, but it

can also provide status information and menus. Depending on the display

mode, the Viewfinder uses a status bar, icons and popup windows to

provide information, notifications and prompts as necessary.

Note that status bar information and menus only appear for the MCD

Operator. This information does not appear for the MCA client software

user who is receiving streamed information.

6.1. Controlling the Viewfinder Mode

To control the Viewfinder mode, press the Display button on the back of

the MCD. Starting from the Default mode that appears when the MCD first

turns on, Operators can press Display one or more times to switch the

Viewfinder into a different mode, as described below.

6.1.1. Turn Viewfinder Backlight On or Power Save

If you are in a call that does not require the Viewfinder backlight, the

Operator can press and hold the Display button until the backlight dims

and enters power-saving mode. Press and hold the button again to turn

the backlight back on. Placing the backlight in power save extends run

time when operating on battery.

Note: The default backlight level can be set from the MCD configuration

screen available from the Main Menu.

6.1.2. Default Viewfinder Mode

This is the default mode that appears when you first turn the camera on.

Viewfinder mode maximizes the visible video area by providing as little

extraneous screen information as possible. The Status bar area is blank,

but icons, pop-up notifications and prompts appear as necessary.
