●The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

●There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).

INTERFACE SHOOTING

 

The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the

 

LCD monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while

 

viewing your own image in the LCD monitor.

 

Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so

 

that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted

 

upward to an angle of over approx. 105°, the monitor

 

image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled

 

out at that time, it also switches on.

 

Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-

 

recording) and start recording.

 

During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and

Self-Recording

indications do not appear inverted as they would

when viewing a mirror.

 

NOTES:

● During Interface Shooting, the “Tape Running” indicator and warning indications ( pg. 87, 88) are the only ones that are shown; they appear reversed in the display as they would when viewing a mirror, but are not reversed in the recording.

● The tape remaining indicator does not appear during interface shooting. However, when the remaining time reaches 2 minutes, the indicator appears showing the

remaining time:
