Taking Still Pictures to a Cassette
You can record still pictures like a photograph. The camcorder records the picture
and sound to tape for several seconds. The exposure is automatically adjusted.
MV4i MC only: Copy still photos automatically to a memory card ( 120) for
transfer to a PC for image enhancement and printout. Also, starting your shooting
with a still photo makes it easy to find the beginning again later with the Photo
Search function ( 78).
You can take a still picture at any time during regular video recording, or you can
put the camcorder into record pause mode first, then take a still picture.
Press the PHOTO button fully down and the still picture will be taken
immediately.
• The camcorder takes the image immediately, and then records the “photo” to the
tape for approximately 6 seconds (8 seconds in SP or LP recording mode).
During this time the camcorder also records the sound, and the display shows
the still picture.
• A counter display appears, and counts up as the camcorder records the picture.
• The camera returns to record pause mode.
