(NV-DS15, NV-DS150, NV-DS25 only)
You are used to looking at yourself in the
mirror. Therefore, when recording yourself
with the LCD Monitor facing forward, the
picture (as it is being recorded) might look
unusual and distracting. If you prefer to see
yourself on the LCD Monitor in the same way
as you see yourself in a mirror, i.e. with the
sides reversed, set [SELFSHOOT] on the
[OTHER FUNCTIONS] Sub-Menu to
[MIRROR]. However, the picture will still be
recorded in the normal, non-reversed way.
This mirror mode for the picture on the LCD
Monitor works only during recording and in the
Recording Pause Mode with the LCD Monitor
facing forward. Also, it is completely different
from the Mirror Mode of the Digital Effects 1
(p. 48).
Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns off
the Viewfinder. However, when you turn the LCD
Monitor forward, the picture also appears in the
Viewfinder.
This lets you aim the Movie Camera and view the
picture in the Viewfinder, while the persons in front
of the Movie camera can check the picture on the
LCD Monitor during recording.
