2. Bring the DVD camcorder close to the subject and start recording.
The subject will be focused automatically. To change the magnitude of subject
image, adjust the distance from the subject.
Tips:
• Zoom can be used, but the subject may not be focused, depending on the distance to the
subject.
• The amount of light tends to be insufficient during macro recording: If the subject image is too
dark, use additional lighting.
Recording an Image of Yourself
You can point the DVD camcorder at yourself, and record the image while monitoring
it on the LCD screen. Use the infrared remote control to operate the DVD camcorder.
1. Open the LCD monitor approximately
90 ° and turn it so the monitor screen
faces in the same direction as the lens.
2. Press the REC button on the DVD
camcorder or remote control to start re-
cording.
(See the description on self-timer on p. 88.)
Cautions:
• Do not record for a prolonged time with the LCD monitor turned 180 ° in close contact with the DVD
camcorder body: Doing this could cause the DVD camcorder and LCD monitor to become hot.
• When the LCD monitor is turned 180 °, no image will appear in the viewfinder.
