Using The Lcd Screen - Canon Vistura User Manual

Using the LCD Screen

Switching between displays
E
When you open the LCD screen, it turns on. When you close it, the viewfinder
turns on instead. When the LCD screen is closed with its screen side facing up,
the LCD screen remains on.
Changing the angle of the LCD screen
You can choose the angle of the screen
that suits you best by opening and
rotating the screen, also you can rotate
the LCD screen so that faces backwards.
This is very convenient for playback.
Notes:
• Avoid touching the LCD screen.
• Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD panel.
• Bright light falling on the LCD screen may cause glare that makes it difficult
for you to view the image. In this case, switch to using the viewfinder.
• When you turn on the camera, the display always appears on the LCD screen in
VCR mode.
The display may appear in the viewfinder in camera mode, if you were using
the viewfinder when the camera was turned off.
About the LCD Viewfinder/Screen
The LCD screen built into this camcorder is a high precision product.
However, small black dots or bright points of light (red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction of the LCD screen and they
are not recorded on the tape. (Effective dots: more than 99.99%)
Allowing the subject to monitor recording
When you turn the LCD panel so that it
faces the opposite direction (see
diagram opposite), you can watch
yourself during recording or let your
subject monitor recording.
• During this "monitor recording", you
can choose the display style, reversed
(mirror on) or not (mirror off) from
the camera menu.
