NOTES:

●When you use the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may be difficult to see. If this happens, use the viewfinder instead.

●The image will not appear simultaneously in the LCD monitor and the viewfinder except during Interface Shooting. It will appear in the viewfinder when the LCD monitor is in the lock position, and it will appear on the LCD monitor when fully extended.

●The cassette holder cannot be opened unless a power supply is attached.

●There may be a delay after you open the cassette holder cover until the cassette holder opens. Do not use force.

●Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes automatically. Wait until it recedes completely before closing the cassette holder cover.

●When the Recording Start/Stop button is pressed, it may take a few seconds before actual recording starts. “ ” starts rotating when the camcorder actually starts recording.

●The time required to calculate and display the remaining tape length, and the accuracy of the calculation, may vary according to the type of tape used.

●“TAPE END” appears when the tape reaches its end, and the power goes off automatically if left in this condition for 5 minutes. “TAPE END” also appears when a cassette at its end is loaded.

JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90° downward, 180° upward).

INTERFACE SHOOTING

	The person you shoot can view himself/herself in the
	LCD monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while
	viewing your own image in the LCD monitor.
	Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so
	that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted
	upward to an angle of over approx. 105°, the monitor
	image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled
	out at that time, it also switches on.
	Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-
	recording) and start recording.
	During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and
Self-Recording	indications do not appear inverted as they would
	when viewing a mirror.

NOTES:

● During Interface Shooting, the “Tape Running” indicator and warning indications (
pg. 87, 88) are the only ones that are shown; they appear reversed in the display as they would when viewing a mirror, but are not reversed in the recording.

● The tape remaining indicator does not appear during interface shooting. However, when the remaining time reaches 2 minutes, the indicator appears showing the
