Push the Power Zoom

Press the REC START button ( B) to
begin recording.
To pause recording, press the REC STOP
button (
B).
Cautions:
• Do not rotate the monitor to the self recording
position during recording or playback.
• For recording in Self Recording mode, be sure to
rotate the monitor, NOT the lens. If you hold the
VIEWCAM upside down with the lens at the bottom,
the subject will be recorded upside down.
Notes:
• You will need the VR-33FA tripod adapter for 180°
recording (optional accessory) if you want to use a
tripod when recording in Self Recording mode.
• In Self Recording mode, only the REC START/STOP
button and the Power Zoom control buttons can be
used on the remote control.
More Information on Self Recording
• The screen image is automatically inverted when
the monitor rotation is between 135° and 200°.
When the monitor is turned back to the normal
position, the image returns to normal.
• In Self Recording mode, all standard warning
indicators on the screen are replaced by the
flashing
indicator. To check the type of
warning, rotate 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 functions.
• You can play back images even while the
monitor is in the self recording position. Set the
Power switch to VCR. The Operation buttons still
retain their functions as during normal playback,
even though the button indicators are not
displayed. (For example, the
J button still works
as the Play button.)
Self Recording
The LCD monitor can be rotated 180° vertically
so that the monitor screen faces the subject.
This lets you record yourself while watching
your image on the screen.
You can enjoy recording a portrait of yourself,
or recording yourself and your friends together
at a party, using the remote control.
