Preparing the Camcorder
22
Using the LCD Screen
Open the LCD panel 90 degrees and adjust the viewing
angle.
• You can adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the > [£ Display Setup] > [LCD Brightness]
and [LCD Backlight] settings. When the camcorder is on, you can also press and hold the DISP button for
more than 2 seconds to change the [LCD Backlight] setting between bright and normal or from dim to normal.
• Adjusting the brightness does not affect the brightness of recordings.
• Using a brighter setting will shorten the effective usage time of the battery pack.
• When the LCD panel is rotated 180 degrees toward the subject, you can use the > [£ Display
Setup] > [LCD Mirror Image] setting to flip the screen's image horizontally so it shows a mirror image of the
subject.
• For details about how to take care of the LCD screen, refer to Safety Instructions and Handling Precautions
(A 129), Cleaning (A 133).
