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.
To turn on the camcorder, set the Power Switch to any operation mode except “OFF”while pressing down the Lock Button located on the switch.
