Adjustments and Settings for Recording
: Adjusting and setting the LCD monitor
1 Turn on the POWER switch of the unit.
2 Slide the OPEN button in the arrow 1 direction to open
the LCD monitor in the arrow 2 direction.
3 Adjust the angle of the LCD monitor for most convenient
viewing.
The monitor can turn up to 180 degrees towards the
lens and up to 90 degrees towards you.
Note
To prevent unit failure, do not allow undue force to be
applied to the monitor (when it is open).
4 The options BRIGHTNESS, COLOR LEVEL, and
CONTRAST show respectively the brightness, color
level and contrast of the screen. These options can be
found in the <LCD MONITOR> screen on the SYSTEM
SETTING page.
5 Through the menu option VFR/LCD CHAR, specify
whether or not the LCD should display the same
characters as the viewfinder.
This menu option can be found in the <OUTPUT SEL>
screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
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 unit 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 unit
warms up, the LCD monitor delivers normal
brightness.
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 on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
Notes
When the LCD monitor is angled 180 degrees towards the
lens 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 VFR/LCD CHAR.
Return signals from the GENLOCK IN connector cannot
be output to the LCD monitor.
When the OUTPUT SEL switch of MON OUT is in the
[CAM] position, playback cannot be output to the LCD
monitor. The viewfinder must be used to view playback.
