4 Press the REC START button (B) to
begin recording.
To pause recording, press the REC STOP
button (B).
Cautions:
• Do not rotate the monitor to the self recording
position during recording or playback.
• For recording in Self Recording mode, be sure to
rotate the monitor, NOT the lens. If you hold the
VIEWCAM upside down with the lens at the bottom,
the subject will be recorded upside down.
Note:
• In Self Recording mode, only the REC START/STOP
button and the ZOOM buttons can be used on the
remote control.
More Information on Self Recording
• The screen image is automatically inverted when
the monitor rotation is between 135° and 200°.
When the monitor is turned back to the normal
position, the image returns to normal.
• In Self Recording mode, all standard warning
indicators on the screen are replaced by the
flashing indicator. To check the type of
warning, rotate the monitor back to the normal
position. (See page 7 for descriptions of the
warning indicators.)
• In Self Recording mode, it is not possible to
display other mode and menu screens or use
some functions and settings.
• You can play back images even while the
monitor is in the self recording position. Set the
Power switch to VCR. The␣ Operation buttons still
retain their functions as during normal playback,
even though the button indicators are not
displayed. (For example, the button still
works as the Play/Still button.)
Self Recording
The LCD monitor can be rotated 180° vertically
so that the monitor screen faces the subject.
This lets you record yourself while watching
your image on the screen.
You can enjoy recording a portrait of yourself,
or recording yourself and your friends together
at a party, using the remote control.
Normal Self Recording
1 Set the Power switch to CAMERA.
2 Rotate the monitor section 180°
vertically.
• The screen image will be inverted to
show a mirror image of the subject, and
the self-recording mode screen appears.
