Self Recording

Available modes:

TAPE-CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA

Rotate the LCD monitor 180° vertically so that

the screen faces the other way and the subject

can monitor the shot while you are recording.

If the camcorder is steadied, you can record

yourself in the scene by watching yourself on

the LCD monitor. The remote control is useful

for such occasions.

1Set the Media Selection switch to TAPE

or CARD.

2Set the Power switch to CAMERA.

3Rotate the monitor section 180°

vertically.

• A mirror image of the subject displays

on the LCD monitor.

4Begin recording.

Cautions:

•Do not rotate the monitor section to the self

recording position during recording or playback.

•For recording in Self Recording mode, be

sure to rotate the monitor section, NOT the

lens section. If you hold the camcorder

upside down with the lens at the bottom, the

subject will be recorded upside down.

More Information on Self Re-

cording

•Use the remote control to begin/stop recording

on tape.

•The screen image automatically inverts when the

monitor rotation is between 135° and 200°. When

the monitor section is turned back to the normal

position, the image returns to normal.

•You can play back images while the monitor is in

the self recording position. Set the camcorder to

TAPE-VCR mode. TheOperation button still

retains its function as during normal playback,

for example, m on the Operation button works

as the Play button.
