•In the Self Recording mode, all standard warning indicators on the monitor are

replaced by a flashing “” indicator. To check the meaning of the warning, turn the monitor back to the normal position.

•In Self Recording mode, it is not possible to record using manual recording modes, change picture adjustments, display menus, record the date and time, or use the quick-return and some of the other features.

•You can begin playback by setting the

Power switch to VCR, even while the monitor is rotated 180°. The functions displayed on the monitor during normal playback still operate even though not

the indicators will not be displayed on the monitor.

•If you set “SELF REC” to “NO CORRECT” on MENU-PAGE 1 (Camera mode), the screen image on the monitor will be displayed upside-down.
