Recording Yourself

(Recording with the LCD Monitor Facing

Forward) (NV-VZ14/VZ15 only)

Turning the LCD Monitor so that it faces forward,

allows you to aim the Movie Camera and view the

picture in the Viewfinder, while the persons in front of

the camera can check the picture on the LCD Monitor

during recording. If you mount the Movie Camera on a

tripod and use the °Remote Controller, you can also

take part in the action that you are recording and

check the picture from the front on the LCD Monitor.
