1.LCD monitor

The LCD monitor displays the video in the viewfinder. Alternatively, it can show clips on the P2 card in a thumbnail format.

In thumbnail display mode, clips can be edited or deleted, or P2 cards can be formatted using the 4.THUMBNAIL MENU button and 5.CURSOR and SET buttons.

‹Notes

zThe image quality displayed with this monitor is different from the image quality actually recorded/output from this unit. Be careful especially when setting the menu item SYSTEM MODE of this unit to “480/59.94i” and “576/50i”. The menu item SYSTEM MODE is found in the <SYSTEM MODE> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.

zThe image in the monitor is disrupted momentarily when the SYSTEM MODE menu item is set to “480/59.94i” or “576/50i”, and the image is switched between the camera image and playback image, but this is not a malfunction.

zAn image may freeze onto the LCD display for a while when the battery is removed or the external DC power supply is unplugged while the power is still on, but this is not a malfunction. It will disappear after a while if left as it is.

zResidual images may seem to increase when the temperature is low, but this is not a malfunction.
