Capturing Photos and Video Snapshot Scenes from a Movie
You can capture video snapshot scenes, single photos or a series of
continuous photos from a previously recorded scene. For example, you
may want to print photos from video recorded at a party or create a
small video clip using video snapshot scenes from the highlights of an
event.

snapshot scenes you capture to 2 or 8 seconds with the 8 8
[Video Snapshot Length] setting.
3Touch [B] to stop the playback.
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 source scene.
Video snapshot scenes cannot be captured from any of the following
types of scenes.
- Scenes shorter than 1 second
- Scenes that were edited using the supplied software VideoBrowser
and were then transferred back to the camcorder.
When the source scene is itself a video snapshot scene, you may not
be able to capture a video snapshot scene depending on the length of
the source scene and the length currently selected for video snapshot
scenes.
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.
