I'm dead chuffed with my recent purchase of the HDR-FOX T2, but the front panel display seems very dim compared to our FOXSAT HDR box!
In fact, when it's in standby in normal daylight, it's impossible to read.
I did a quick search and found a post describing how the loading of customised firmware was a solution to altering the scrolling. Is that the only possible way of being able to change intensity? If so, I'll have to put up with it, as I don't fancy 'tinkering' whilst it's only in the early stages of its warranty!
