Adjusting The Lcd Screen - Sony Handycam DCR-PC100 Operating Instructions Manual

Recording a picture
Note on the LOCK switch
When you slide the LOCK switch to the left, the POWER switch can no longer be set to
MEMORY accidentally. The LOCK switch is set to the right as a default setting.
To enable smooth transition
Transition between the last scene you recorded and the next scene is smooth as long as
you do not eject the cassette even if you turn off your camcorder.
However, check the following:
• When you change the battery pack, set the POWER switch to OFF.
• Do not mix recordings in the SP mode and ones in the LP mode on one tape.
When you use a tape with cassette memory, however, you can make the transition
smooth even after ejecting the cassette if you use the END SEARCH function (p. 24).
If you leave your camcorder in the standby mode for five minutes while the
cassette is inserted
Your camcorder automatically turns off. This is to save battery power and to prevent
battery and tape wear. To resume the standby mode, set the POWER switch to OFF, and
to CAMERA again.
When a cassette is not inserted, your camcorder does not turn off.

Adjusting the LCD screen

The LCD panel rotates about 90 degrees to the viewfinder side and about 180 degrees to
the lens side.
If you turn the LCD panel over so that it faces the other way, the indicator appears
on the LCD screen and in the viewfinder (Mirror mode).
