Adjustments

Settings
for
Recording
• When a cloth is used to wipe dew or dirt off the LCD monitor,
discoloration may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. The discoloration disappears in a few minutes.
• When the camera-recorder 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 camera-
recorder warms up, the LCD monitor delivers normal
brightness.
• The image on the LCD monitor may remain if the battery or
the power plug of an external DC power supply is removed
when the camera is on. This is normal and not a malfunction.
This image will disappear if the camera is left idle.
• Image lag may increase at low temperatures, but this is not a
malfunction.
Self-portrait Shooting
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.
This function clears any status display, waveform and
vectorscope display on the LCD monitor. Setting menus
and thumbnail displays are not flipped horizontally.
Waveform monitor function
Assign the WFM function to a user button and press that
user button to display a waveform for an image in the
LCD monitor. Another press of the WFM button closes the
waveform display.
• The menu option WFM (Page 128) in the SW MODE
screen allows you to switch between the waveform and
vectorscope displays.
• The waveform display does not appear in the viewfinder.
• The waveform display does not appear when the focus
assist (EXPANDED) function is used.
• The waveform display cannot be recorded.
