convenient viewing.

To prevent camera-recorder failure, do not allow
undue force to be applied to the monitor (when it is
open).

characters as the viewfinder.
This menu option can be found in the <OUTPUT
SEL> screen, which is accessible from the SYSTEM
SETTING page.
Self-portrait Shooting
When shooting with the LCD display angled 180 degrees
towards the lens, you can set the menu option SELF
SHOOT to "MIRROR", to horizontally flip the video image
on the LCD display, and allow you to view a mirror image
while shooting.
Note that only the video image on the LCD monitor is
horizontally flipped, not the actual video being recorded.
The menu option SELF SHOOT can be found in the <LCD
MONITOR> screen, which is accessible from the SYSTEM
SETTING page.
Notes
When the LCD monitor is angled 180 degrees towards
you with the menu option SELF SHOOT to "MIRROR",
the LCD monitor does not provide the same status
indication as the viewfinder, regardless of the setting for
the menu option LCD MON CHAR.
Return signals from the GENLOCK IN connector cannot
be output to the LCD monitor.
When the OUTPUT SEL switch is positioned to CAM in
the HD mode, playback cannot be output to the LCD
monitor. The HD viewfinder must be used to view play-
back.

Notes
When closing the LCD monitor make sure that it is
shut tight.
In an environment with sudden temperature
changes, condensation may form on the liquid
crystal surface of the monitor. If this happens, wipe
off the moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
When the camera-recorder is very cold, the video
image in the LCD monitor will appear slightly darker
immediately after the power is turned on. Once the
interior of the camera-recorder warms up, the LCD
monitor delivers normal brightness.
