JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING
SXM81A/SXM71A/SXM61A/SXM92ED/
SXM82ED/SXM75ED/SXM72ED/SXM62ED only)
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 (GR-SXM91A/
SXM81A/SXM71A/SXM61A/SXM92ED/
SXM82ED/SXM75ED/SXM72ED/SXM62ED only)
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 degrees so that it faces forward. When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105 degrees, the monitor image is inverted vertically, and the viewfinder also switches on. Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self- recording) and start recording.
During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications do not appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror.
NOTE:
The monitored image can be viewed on the LCD monitor and in the viewfinder.
