Hope this makes some sort of sense

As some of you know, my eyesight isn't all it might be. So when watching Youtube videos pf Eddie Castalyn recently it was noticeable that he kept looking up at a TV screen so he could check what we were seeing.
Light bulb moment. ( it takes me a while, I must be pretty low wattage )
If he could do that then I could set up a camera over the lathe and a screen behind it to give me a bigger image of finials etc which I have been unable to do.
Long story short, it works brilliantly, the last inch of a finial can now fill the screen of a 22 inch TV 12 inches in front of me. great stuff, chuffed to bits....... being a practicing skinflint I have the camcorder fed directly from the mains so no need for a battery, and I am not trying to record anything ( just using it as a magnifier ) so no need for a flash card. However...... it works great for 4 or 5 minutes then swaps itself from showing what I am doing to playing an advert of the cameras features. Sort of a shop demo program. pressing a button brings it back immediately but it is a PITA
I guess if I put a card in and actually recorded then the problem would go away but anyone know another way ?
