Hi everyone. My name is Chris.So Saturday I had the pleasure of filming about 9 hours of footage for a TV show to be broadcast in India. We used 3 cameras and a switcher connected to a monitor. My 7100 was connected to the switcher and recorded to a hard drive, so my 20 minutes of filming time wasn't an issue. My problem is that after 30-45 minutes the camera would go into stand by mode. I couldn't find a way to disable this. So what happened was if my camera was feeding the hard drive, and it decided to turn off, the feed was lost until the switcher operator switched cameras.Does anyone know how to disable standby mode or whatever it is? I'm assuming that because it wasn't writing to my SD card, it was seeing itself as being inactive. I don't know. It was a pain... Can anyone help? Thanks!

I think I answered my own question by digging deeper into the menu.
Custom Settings Menu/C: Timers/AE Lock/C4: Monitor Off Delay

Scroll down to Live View and set to No Limit

I think thats correct anyways!!
