5. Viewfinder Features & Display Modes
The display on the back of the FieldView Device functions as a camera
viewfinder. By default, it shows what the lens at the front of the FieldView
Device 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 FieldView
Device Operator. This information does not appear for the FieldView Application
client software user who is receiving streamed information.
5.1. Controlling the Viewfinder Mode
To control the Viewfinder mode, press the
Display
button on the back of
the FieldView Device. Starting from the Default mode that appears when the
FieldView Device first turns on, Operators can press

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.

configuration screen available from the Main Menu.

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