Subject can monitor the LCD screen

NOTES

About the LCD screen: The screen is produced using extremely high-pre- cision manufacturing techniques, with more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specification. Less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasion- ally misfire or appear as black, red, blue or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction.

LCD Backlight

When recording in bright places it may be difficult to use the LCD screen. Turn on the LCD backlight to make it brighter.

With the camcorder on, hold h pressed down for more than 2 seconds.

Repeat this action to switch the LCD backlight between off (normal) and on (bright).

NOTES

The LCD backlight does not affect the brightness of the recordings.

Using the bright setting will shorten the effective usage time of the bat- tery pack.

You can further adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the

68[LCD Brightness] setting, or dim it with the 68[LCD Screen Dimmer] setting to use in places where the light from the LCD screen can be a nuisance.

For details about how to take care of the touch screen, refer to Handling Precautions (0186), Cleaning (0191).
