SELFSHOOT item on the setting menu
DISPLAY SETUP screen, a left-right reversed
image appears on the LCD monitor, and the
person operating the camera recorder can shoot
images of himself or herself that appear as if he
or she is looking at himself or herself in the
mirror.

mirror mode, the recorded images will be the
same as ones which have been shot regularly

items:
