recorded, use the zoom lever or the Remote
Commander.
Recording in mirror mode
You can turn the LCD panel towards the
subject so that you and your subject can share
the image being recorded. You can also
utilize this function when recording yourself,
or to keep the attention of small children
attracted to the camcorder while you record
them.
Open the LCD panel 180 degrees, then
rotate it towards the subject until it clicks.
A mirror-image of the subject appears on the
LCD screen, but the picture will be normal
when recorded.
Up to about 100 degrees
