Useful Features
Camera Recording
Letting the Subject Monitor
the Shot
Available modes: TAPE-CAMERA, DUAL-
CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA
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 infrared remote
control is useful for such occasions.
1
Pull out the viewfinder completely. Open
the LCD monitor to a 90° angle to the
camcorder body (1), and then rotate it

Press the REC START/STOP button to
begin recording.
Caution:
• Do not invert the image by rotating the LCD
monitor during recording.
Notes:
• The screen image is automatically inverted when
the vertical rotation of the LCD monitor is
between 135° and 180°. When the monitor is
rotated back to within 135°, the image returns to
normal.
• If the
indicator flashes when the LCD 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 9 and
10 for descriptions of the warning indicators.)
Auto Focus
Available modes: TAPE-CAMERA, DUAL-
CAMERA, CARD-CAMERA
The camcorder is preset to Auto Focus mode,
which is designed to focus on most types of
subjects. In Auto Focus mode, the camcorder
automatically focuses on whatever is in the
centre of the scene. Always keep the subject in
the centre of the scene.
Notes:
• If no subject is in the centre of the scene, the
focus area will expand and the subject nearest
the centre will be focused on.
• If no subject is displayed, the camcorder will
automatically zoom out until a subject comes
into the frame.
• Auto Focus may not work in the situations
described on page 55. In these situations, use
the manual focus function.
