Rotate the LCD monitor 180° vertically so that
the screen faces the other way and the subject
can monitor the shot while you are recording.
If the camcorder is steadied, you can record
yourself in the scene by watching yourself on
the LCD monitor. The remote control is useful
for such occasions.

Cautions:
• Do not rotate the monitor section to the self
recording position during recording or playback.
• For recording in Self Recording mode, be
sure to rotate the monitor section, NOT the
lens section. If you hold the camcorder
upside down with the lens at the bottom, the
subject will be recorded upside down.
More Information on Self Re-
cording
• Use the remote control to begin/stop recording
on tape.
• The screen image automatically inverts when the
monitor rotation is between 135° and 200°. When
the monitor section is turned back to the normal
position, the image returns to normal.
• You can play back images while the monitor is in
the self recording position. Set the camcorder to
Tape Playback mode. The Operation button still
retains its function as during normal playback,
for example, m on the Operation button works
as the Play button.
• When using a tripod or putting the camcorder on
flat surface, a table for example, attach the
supplied tripod adapter (see page 33).
