2. Press the PHOTO button fully down to take the still picture.
The camera takes the image immediately, and then records the “photo” to the tape for approximately 6

A counter display appears, and counts up to 6 seconds as the camera records the picture.

from the display.
The camera returns to record pause mode.
Notes:
While the camera records the still, you cannot use the camera functions (POWER dial/STANDBY button
do not respond until recording is complete). This applies even when you haven’t loaded a cassette.
The wireless controller’s PHOTO button has no half-way setting, press the button and the camera soon
takes the “photo”.
Only take “photos” where it is bright enough to see the image in the viewfinder.
For even greater versatility, attach a Canon Speedlite for flash photography (available as optional
accessories, see page 60), when taking still pictures from record pause mode.
