Recording Yourself
You can record yourself while viewing the LCD
Monitor. You can record persons in front of the
camera while presenting them the image. The image
is horizontally flipped as if you see a mirror image.
(The image to be recorded is the same as that
recording.)
• Extend the Viewfinder to see the picture while
recording.
• Set to Tape/Card Recording Mode.
• A vertically oriented display appears on the
Viewfinder screen, this is normal and not indicative
of any trouble.
• When the LCD Monitor is rotated towards the
lens side, the One-Touch Navigation icon will not
be displayed even if you press the center of the
Joystick Control.

• If the LED Video light is used with a Conversion
lens attached, a slight vignetting (darkening around
edges) effect occurs on the screen.
• Using the MagicPix Function at the same time will
make conditions even brighter.
• The LED video light enables simply lightening
the images taken in a dimly-lit place. We also
recommend using it in a bright place to obtain high
quality images.
