JOURNALISTIC SHOOTING

provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in
the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the
most convenient direction. It can rotate 270° (90°
downward, 180° upward).
SELF-RECORDING
You can shoot yourself while viewing your own image
in the LCD monitor. Open the LCD monitor and tilt it
upward 180° so that it faces forward, then point the
lens toward yourself and start recording.
Operation Mode
Choose the appropriate operation mode according to
your preference using the Power Switch and VIDEO/
MEMORY Switch.
