Shooting

Face-to-face shooting

When the LCD monitor is opened and rotated 180 degrees toward the lens, and the person operating the camera recorder records images of himself or herself, the impression of the shot images may appear to be different from usual.

If MIRROR is selected as the setting for the SELFSHOOT item on the setting menu DISPLAY SETUP screen, a left-right reversed image appears on the LCD monitor, and the person operating the camera recorder can shoot images of himself or herself that appear as if he or she is looking at himself or herself in the mirror.

However, even when shooting images in the mirror mode, the recorded images will be the same as ones which have been shot regularly as the images are not recorded as a mirror reflection.

When shooting in the mirror mode, the information which appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor is limited to the following items:

O: Shooting

O; : Shooting pause

: Remaining battery charge display : Warning display

When appears, return the LCD monitor to its original position, and check the message of the warning display.

Index recording

(When the INDEX function has been allocated to one of the USER buttons)

When the INDEX button is pressed during shooting or recording, the index signal is recorded on the tape.

When it is pressed while shooting or recording is temporarily stopped, the index signal is set to the recording standby status. When the shooting or recording is then resumed, the index signal is recorded on the tape at that time.

Searches (index searches) can be performed during playback once the index signals have been recorded.

Using the USER buttons

One of 11 functions can be allocated in turn to each of the USER1, USER2 and USER3 buttons.

In accordance with the subject concerned, the shooting conditions can be instantly selected or fade effects can be added to the images.

For details, refer to the USER1 and USER2 items (page 42) on the setting menu SW MODE screen.

Intermittent recording

There are two intermittent recording modes: the mode in which images are shot at fixed intervals, and the frame-by-frame shooting mode.

1Set the shooting mode for intermittent recording using the INTERVAL REC item on

the setting menu RECORDING SETUP screen. (See page 46)

2Set the recording time using the REC TIME item.

3Set the standby time using the INTERVAL TIME item.

4When the START/STOP button is pressed, recording starts in the shooting mode for intermittent recording.

5When the OPERATION lever is tilted in the “$” direction, “I –” blinks, and intermittent recording is set to the temporary stop status. O While intermittent recording is in progress,

no other operations are accepted.

O While intermittent recording is in progress, the remaining tape amount is not displayed.

Even when the intermittent recording mode has been set, it will be returned to OFF when the power is turned off.
