Open the LCD screen with your finger. • The screen opens up to 90°. 2. Rotate the LCD screen towards the lens. • You can rotate it up to 180° towards the lens and up to 90° backwards. To view recordings more conveniently, rotate the screen by 180° towards the lens, then fold it back to the body. Excessive rotation may damage the connective hinge between the screen and the camcorder. • When the LCD screen is rotated by 180°, the left and right sides of the subject are shown in reverse, which produces a horizontally flipped image. • Remove fingerprints or dust on the screen with a soft cloth. • To adjust the LCD brightness and colour, refer to the page 85. • Samsung’s super fine LCD technology activates about 99.99% pixels on the LCD screen. Although one or two black dots or bright dots (red, blue, white) could appear on the screen, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded image. 1 11 Getting to know the camcorder To eject the battery USING THE BATTERY We recommend you purchase one or more additional batteries to allow continuous use of your camcorder. • Be sure to charge the battery before you start using your camcorder. • The battery may be charged a little at the time of purchase.
