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).
SELF-RECORDING
You can shoot yourself while viewing your own image in
the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor and tilt it
upward 180° so that it faces forward, then point the lens
toward yourself and start recording.
