Shooting
Face-to-face shooting
When the LCD monitor is opened and rotated 180 degrees toward the lens, and the person operating the camera recorder records images of himself or herself, the impression of the shot images may appear to be different from usual. If MIRROR is selected as the setting for the SELFSHOOT item on the setting menu DISPLAY SETUP screen, a left-right reversed image appears on the LCD monitor, and the person operating the camera recorder can shoot images of himself or herself that appear as if he or she is looking at himself or herself in the mirror. However, even when shooting images in the mirror mode, the recorded images will be the same as ones which have been shot regularly as the images are not recorded as a mirror reflection. When shooting in the mirror mode, the information which appears in the viewfinder and on the LCD monitor is limited to the following items: O O; : Shooting : Shooting pause : Remaining battery charge display : Warning display When appears, return the LCD monitor to its original position, and check the message of the warning display.
Index recording
When the INDEX button is pressed during shooting or recording, the index signal is recorded on the tape. When it is pressed while shooting or recording is temporarily stopped, the index signal is set to the recording standby status. When the shooting or recording is then resumed, the index signal is recorded on the tape at that time. Searches (index searches) can be performed during playback once the index signals have been recorded.

One of nine functions can be allocated to the USER1 button and one can be allocated to the USER2 button. In accordance with the subject concerned, the shooting conditions can be instantly selected or fade effects can be added to the images. For details, refer to the USER1 and USER2 items (page 39) on the setting menu SW MODE screen.
