Changing the Angle of the LCD Monitor when Recording

You can change the angle of the LCD monitor so that the picture on the LCD screen can be monitored from different positions.

See "LCD Monitor" (p. 19) for the range in which you can change the angle of the LCD monitor.

Note: You need the remote control to operate the camcorder.

Recording an Image of Yourself while Monitoring the LCD Screen

1.Open the LCD monitor ("Opening the LCD Monitor", p19).

2.Turn the LCD monitor so the monitor screen faces the same direction as the lens.

Press the START/STOP button on the remote control, and the camcorder will begin recording.

Note: When you record an image of yourself, the image displayed on the LCD will be the reverse of a mirror image.

Note: Tilt the LCD monitor in the direction of the camera lens so that it faces up slightly, and the screen may be viewed easily.
