Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording

• When the camera-recorder is very cold, the video image

in the LCD monitor will appear slightly darker immediately

after the power is turned on. Once the interior of the camera-

recorder warms up, the LCD monitor delivers normal

brightness.

Self-portrait Shooting

When shooting with the LCD display angled 180 degrees

towards the lens, you can set the menu option SELF

SHOOT to MIRROR, to horizontally ﬂip the video image on

the LCD display, and allow you to view a mirror image while

shooting.

Note that only the video image on the LCD monitor is

horizontally ﬂipped, not the actual video being recorded.

This function clears any status display, waveform and

vectorscope display on the LCD monitor. Setting menus

and thumbnail displays are not ﬂipped horizontally.

Waveform monitor function

user button to display a waveform for an image in the

LCD monitor. Another press of the WFM button closes the

waveform display.

• The menu option WFM (Page 128) in the SW MODE

screen allows you to switch between the waveform and

vectorscope displays.

• The waveform display does not appear in the viewﬁnder.

• The waveform display does not appear when the focus

assist function is used.

• The waveform display cannot be recorded.
