VIXIA HF R80 How do I keep the screen saver from automatically coming on?

I will be using my new HFR80 to stream lectures via zoom. It has this annoying "feature" that the screen saver comes on in place of the camera - and this is what is broadcasted - every few minutes when I am lecturing. How do I keep this from happening?

Thanks,

David

I think I figured this one out as well. It se,ms to be called the demo mode, nd it comes on automatically after 5 min in record mode. In other settings, the icon with the hammer, one can shut off demo mode.

My demo mode is grayed out so I cannot access it, but am having the same issue with the unit going into demo mode while livestreaming. Does not happen on a friends camera that has the exact same equipment.
