Shooting techniques for different targets (cont.)
When the LCD monitor is opened and turned 180
degrees toward the lens to take shots of yourself, the
images shot may appear differently from how you
would normally.
When “MIRROR” has been selected as the SELF
SHOOT item setting on the DISPLAY SETUP screen
using the menus
(P62-64), an image with the left and
right sides reversed will appear on the LCD monitor.
This way, it feels as if you were looking at yourself in a
mirror, which makes it easier to check what you are
shooting.
(P72)
However, even if you take self-portrait shots in the mir-
ror mode, the images recorded on the tape will be
exactly like the ones you would normally shoot (i.e. not
mirror images).
When shooting in the mirror mode, the information dis-
played on the viewfinder and LCD monitor is limited to
the following.
* : Shooting
* h : Shooting pause
: Remaining battery charge
: Warning
If is displayed, return the LCD monitor to its original
position, and check the contents of the warning.
By selecting “REC” as the TIME STAMP setting on the
RECORDING SETUP screen using the menus
(P62-
64), the shooting date and time can be superimposed
on the images shot and recorded on the tape.
(P69)
When “REC” is selected as the TIME STAMP item set-
ting,
appears on the screen.
• The time stamp cannot be recorded when “×160” has
been selected as the D.ZOOM item setting on the
SW MODE screen.
(P69)
This camera-recorder comes with a high-sensitivity
shooting function to enable shooting in very dark plac-
es.
You can shoot scenes in three high-sensitivity shooting
modes, which you could not capture using a regular
camera, by combining the light in the infrared ray region
(IR light) with the shutter speed.
Press the SNS button for high-sensitivity shooting.
Switch back to regular shooting by pressing the SNS
button again.
The high-sensitivity shooting modes are selected using
the SNS item on the SW MODE screen.
(P69)
• High-sensitivity shooting cannot be performed during
regular shooting even by pressing the SNS button.
Temporarily stop shooting first, and then press the
SNS button.
