I have a handycam DCR-HC18e. The nightshot plus slider is set at off, but is still on as shown on the screen when I switch it on, and from the overexposed look of the recording....any suggestions?

1. First Set the POWER Switch to Camera, Slide NIGHTSHOT to ON.
2. The NIGHTSHOT indicators flash on the screen.
3. To cancel the NightShot mode, Slide NIGHTSHOT to OFF.
Option 2:
1. Let us try to reset the Camcorder and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
2. Locate the RESET button behind the LCD screen of the Camcorder.
3. The Camcorder should be switched ON when you reset the unit. Press the RESET button using a sharp-pointed object.
NOTE: Resetting the Camcorder will reset the settings of the Camcorder to the factory settings including date and time. It will not delete any data saved in the Camcorder.
This is the solution, I would only add that it's on the top of the camera itself. Not in the digital menu or backlight button. On my older version, it's between the cassette and lens sections of the camera.
Never having used the nightshot before, my sister left me with the same quandary...
If you really feel up to it the thing has screws, start opening them and take of the plastic cover.
But think 4 times before messing with a 400 $ camera, maybe you'd rather take it to a lab, shouldn't be too expensive. There's many things that can go wrong if you do it yourself
Good luck
