Getting ready to start recording
ATTACHING THE STRAP
Adjust the length of strap so that the camcorder is stable when you
press the [
Recording start/stop
] button with your thumb.
If you adjust the strap too tightly and use excessive force to insert your
hand, the strap hook of the camcorder may be damaged.
ADJUSTING THE LCD SCREEN
The wide LCD screen on your camcorder offers high quality image
viewing.
1
Open the LCD screen with your finger.
The screen opens up to 90°.
2
Rotate the LCD screen towards the lens.
You can rotate it up to 180° towards the lens and up to
90° backwards. To view recordings more conveniently, rotate
the screen by 180° towards the lens, and then fold it back to
the body.
Excessive rotation may damage the connective hinge between the
screen and the camcorder.
When the LCD screen is rotated by 150°~180°, the left and right
sides of the subject are shown in reverse, which produces a
horizontally flipped image.
Remove fingerprints or dust on the screen with a soft cloth.
To adjust the LCD brightness, see page 76.
