Panasonic HDC-SD9 and Sony TG-3 - quick question
Discussion
Hi
Just want to double check my understanding if anyone owns the Panasonic HDC-SD9 or Sony TG-3... no don't worry it's not one of those "which should I buy" questions...
With either of these camcorders, or indeed any camcorder, that has an LCD screen but no separate/additional viewfinder, am I right in thinking that none of them allow you to record with the LCD closed, they all rely on it being open?
(Why you ask? I want to use it skiing, less risk to any electronics if it's closed, plus can cover in a waterproof bag cover)
I have tried the online instructions but found them a bit ambiguous.
I know if I go upmarket to the likes of the Canon HG10 or Pana HDC-SD100, that I can, but they are both getting bigger and heavier. I don't mind the lack of viewfinder, just want to see if I can use a non-viewfinder model whilst the LCD closed?
Cheers
