power.

difficult to see in bright daylight.

Return the LCD monitor to the vertical 90°
position with the screen facing in, and fold it

Cautions:
• Do not use excessive force when moving the
LCD monitor.
• Do not try to rotate the LCD monitor vertically
until the monitor is completely opened.

otherwise the monitor may not close properly
and may become damaged.

monitor.

surface.
• Do not place the camcorder with the LCD

screen facing in when not in use.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the LCD screen.
