How can I make the screen stay on all the time

[Spardo]

Sorry if this sounds naive but I have had my dashcam for many years without problems but have just had to put a new card in it. All seems to be fine but it has failed to restart a couple of times after an engine stop. OK that is probably a bad connection somewhere which I can seek out. But, the screen on the back which is my only method of seeing if it is working or not goes blank after a few minutes and, as I can't always see if the red 'rec' light is on against a bright sky I am not alerted to the fact that the connection has dropped.

My memory is that this screen was always on before the card change, am I right? And if I am, how can I get it to revert to that status?

You need to turn the screensaver off. This is not recommended however, as this will add unneeded heat and stress to the hardware.

OK Thank you, but I'm sure it was on all the time before the card change. I bought it in September 2019.
I'll think I'll persevere with looking at the connections to make sure it doesn't cut out, but just in case that is not successful, how do I turn the screensaver off. From the menu?

There is a screensaver setting. Turn it off.

You can enter the camera menu and choose off in Screen Saver to keep the screen on all the time. But we do not recommend this.
