C450 - Backup Camera delay

seems a little weird to me. after reversing and having the back up camera pop on, when i go into drive an start driving away, the reverse camera stays on for like 10 seconds and seems to lag to get back into whatever the previous screen setting was...... just me that finds this odd? or did they do this on purpose?

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
Probably only the designers know if it was intentional, but I suspect it was and I prefer it that way. If you are going back and forth in a tight spot, it's nicer that it just stays on and doesn't switch screens a couple of times. My other vehicle switches off instantly when you go to drive, and I prefer the way MB did it, with a few more seconds of the backup camera.

EDIT: Should add in the MB situation where I'm going back and forth, I put on the 360 camera and it stays on until a certain speed, so that works best....but without the 360, I would find it staying on a few seconds a better choice than my other vehicle.

Stand behind your car and have a trusted friend or loved on put the car into reverse.
The lag is while the trap door opens and drops the camera.

I think it's speed sensitive, over 5 mph it turns off.

This is normal. It lets you see the front and back so you are secure.

It's speed sensitive. Pretty sure this is covered in manual.
