lens and up to 90 degrees towards you. 
‹Note
To prevent camera-recorder failure, do not allow 
undue force to be applied to the monitor (when it is 
open).
4The options BRIGHTNESS, COLOR LEVEL, and 
CONTRAST show respectively the brightness, color 
level and contrast of the screen. These options can be 
found in the  screen, which is 
accessible from the SYSTEM SETTING page.
5Through the menu option LCD MON CHAR, specify 
whether or not the LCD should display the same 
characters as the viewfinder.
This menu option can be found in the  screen, which is accessible from the SYSTEM 
SETTING page.
‹Notes
zWhen closing the LCD monitor make sure that it is
shut tight.
zIn an environment with sudden temperature
changes, condensation may form on the liquid
crystal surface of the monitor. If this happens, wipe
off the moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
zWhen 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. 
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.
The menu option SELF SHOOT can be found in the  screen, which is accessible from the SYSTEM
SETTING page. 
‹Notes
zWhen the LCD monitor is angled 180 degrees towards
you with the menu option SELF SHOOT to “MIRROR”,
the LCD monitor does not provide the same status
indication as the viewfinder, regardless of the setting for
the menu option LCD MON CHAR.
zReturn signals from the GENLOCK IN connector cannot
be output to the LCD monitor.
zWhen the OUTPUT SEL switch is positioned to CAM in
the HD mode (1080i, 720P), playback cannot be output
to the LCD monitor. The HD viewfinder must be used to
view playback.
