How To Turn Off Screen

[nubetube23]

I have searched the forum and have not found a solution for my problem.

Here it is:

I would like to be able to turn off the screen while recording video.

Currently, turning off the screen while recording will stop the recording session. I would like to record for hours at a time from a stationary position. So turning off the screen would save enough battery to do so.

Any intelligent suggestions?
