VIEWING IMAGE ON LCD MONITOR SCREEN
If you open the LCD monitor, you can monitor subject image on the LCD screen.
1 Open the LCD monitor.
The LCD monitor has a portion where you can hook your finger. Hook the finger there to open the monitor.
●Range where the LCD monitor can be moved
The LCD monitor can be opened up to approximately 90º.
If the LCD monitor is open 90º, it can be tilted with the screen down as much as 90º, and can also be tilted with screen up and turned up to 180° so the screen faces in the same direction as the lens.
If the LCD monitor is turned 180º so the screen faces in the same direction as the lens during recording, subject image will also appear in the viewfinder as a mirror image (left/right reversed).
Tilt the LCD monitor to adjust its vertical angle so that you can see the screen easily.
Note:
•If no image appears on LCD monitor screen, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 139.
•If LCD monitor lights white, refer to page 58.
•Be sure to open the LCD monitor approximately 90º before changing its vertical angle.
•Do not record for a prolonged time with the LCD monitor turned approximately 180º in close contact with the DVD video camera/recorder body: Doing this could cause the DVD video camera/recorder and LCD monitor to become hot.
