Recording Still Images onto a Tape
You can record still images like photographs. The camcorder records the
picture and sound to tape for several seconds. The exposure is automatically
adjusted.
Copy still images automatically to a memory card ( 146) for transferring
them to a PC for image enhancement and printout. Also, starting your
shooting with a still image makes it easy to find the beginning again later
with the Photo Search function ( 87).
You can take a still image at any time during regular video recording, or you
can set the camcorder to record pause mode first, before taking a still image.
Press the PHOTO button fully down and the still image will be
recorded immediately.
• The camcorder records the image immediately. It records the “photo” to
the tape for approximately 6 seconds. During this time the camcorder also
records the sound, and the display shows the still image.
• A counter display appears, and counts up as the camcorder records the
image.
• The camcorder returns to record pause mode.
