Letting the subject monitor the shot
You can turn the LCD panel over so that it faces the other way and you can let the
subject monitor the shot while shooting with the viewfinder.
Turn the LCD panel up vertically. When you turn the LCD panel 180 degrees, the
indicator appears on the LCD screen (mirror mode) and the time code and remaining
tape indicators disappear.
You can also use the Remote Commander.
To cancel mirror mode
Turn the LCD panel down toward the camcorder body.
Notes on mirror mode
When you turn the LCD panel about 90 degrees to 180 degrees, the camcorder enters
mirror mode.
Using the mirror mode, you can record yourself while watching yourself on the LCD.
The picture on the LCD looks like a mirror-image while recording in mirror mode.
The STBY indicator appears as Pr and REC as r. Other indicators appear as mirror-
image. Some indicators may not appear in mirror mode.
While recording in mirror mode, you cannot operate the following functions: MENU,
TITLE, and ZERO SET MEMORY on the Remote Commander.
While recording in mirror mode, the picture on the LCD screen turns from right side
to left side like a subject in the mirror. However, the recorded picture on the tape is
same as that of the actual subject.
