a mirror image. (The image to be recorded is the same as that
recording.)

the lens side though, then the viewfinder will be activated.

To cancel the color night view function
Select the night view icon until the night view indication
disappear.
≥If set in a bright place, the screen may become whitish for a
while.
≥The night view function makes the signal charging time of
CCD up to approximately 30k longer than usual, so that dark
scenes invisible to the naked eye can be recorded brightly.
For this reason, bright dots that are usually invisible may be
seen, but this is not a malfunction.
≥The night view function is cancelled when you operate the
power switch or the mode switch.
