Self-portrait Shooting
When shooting with the LCD display angled 180 degrees
towards the lens, you can set the menu item 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 item SELF SHOOT is found in the <LCD
MONITOR> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
Note
When the LCD monitor is angled 180 degrees towards you with
the menu option SELF SHOOT to "MIRROR", the LCD monitor

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.
