The camcorder captures a video snapshot scene (the blue frame
serves as a visual progress bar) and then automatically changes to
playback pause mode.
When the camcorder finishes capturing, the screen will momentarily
turn black as if a camera shutter had released.
NOTES
A video snapshot scene can be captured only during playback; it can-
not be captured during playback pause mode.
The captured video snapshot scene is saved to the same memory that
contains the movie.
Video snapshot scenes cannot be captured from any of the following
types of movies.
- Movies shorter than 1 second
- Movies recorded using another device
- Video snapshot scenes
- Scenes that were edited using the software on the supplied Video
Tools CD-ROM and were then written back to the camcorder.
Video snapshot scenes cannot be captured if there is not enough space
available in the memory.
When you start capturing a video snapshot scene less than 1 second
from the end of the scene, the video snapshot scene will be captured
starting from the beginning of the following scene.
During the playback of video snapshot scenes captured from a previ-
ously recorded movie, you may notice some anomalies in the picture/
sound at the point where the playback switches to a new scene.
