∫Mirror Mode

When recording yourself with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the picture shown on it the way it is being recorded may be difficult to get used to.

This is because we usually look at ourselves in the mirror, so we see a mirror-image and this feels more natural. This Movie Camera features the Mirror Mode which displays the picture as a mirror-image.

However, even if you have selected in the Mirror Mode, the picture is recorded in the normal way.

≥It is not possible to display and record the Date, Time and/or Title Indication in the Mirror Mode.

In the Mirror Mode, only the following indications can be displayed on the LCD Monitor and in the Viewfinder:

[¥]	: Recording Mode Indication
[;¥]	: Recording Pause Mode Indication
[x] : Remaining Battery Indication
[°]	: General Warning/
	Alarm Indication

12

When you want to confirm other indications, return the LCD Monitor to position 1or 2shown in the illustration above. Especially when the [°] Indication is displayed, be sure to return the LCD Monitor to position 1or 2so that you can confirm the actual Warning/Alarm Indication.

≥If you turn the LCD Monitor so that it faces forward, the Viewfinder also automatically turns on. However, in the following cases, the Viewfinder turns off:

≥Changing from the Camera to the VCR Mode.

≥Closing the LCD Monitor with the screen facing outward (as shown above 1).
