Letting the Subject Monitor
the Shot
Open the LCD monitor and rotate it 180°
vertically so that the screen faces the other way
and the subject can monitor the shot while you
are recording with the viewfinder.
If the camcorder is steadied, you can record
yourself in the scene by watching yourself on
the LCD monitor. The supplied remote control is
useful for such occasions.

or CARD, and begin recording.
Caution:
• Do not invert the image by rotating the monitor
during recording.
Notes:
• The screen image is automatically inverted when
the vertical rotation of the monitor is between
135° and 180°. When the monitor is rotated back
to within 135°, the image returns to normal.
• If the F indicator flashes when the monitor is in
the inverted position, this indicates a warning. To
check the type of warning, rotate the monitor
back to within 135°. (See pages 7 and 8 for
descriptions of the warning indicators.)
