Recording Stills
Note:
Recording of still images is possible on DVD-RAM disc
and card.
1 Remove the lens cap, and then point the DVD
video camera/recorder at subject.
2 Turn the DVD camera/recorder on.
When using DVD-RAM disc:
Set the power switch to “N”.
When using card:
Set the power switch to “P”.
After the ACCESS indicator goes out,
perform the subsequent operation:
3 Check the subject on the screen (viewfinder
or LCD).
When using the viewfinder, pull it out and
close the LCD monitor.
4 Press the PHOTO button half way (half
pressing).
The DVD video camera/recorder will
automatically focus on the subject at the
center of screen, and the “m” indicator on
screen will light in purple (the focus will not
change when manual focus is chosen).
5 Press the PHOTO button all the way (full
pressing).
The screen will be black, and then the
recorded still will be displayed. When the
“m” mark appears, you can proceed with
the next recording; while “DISC ACCESS” or
“CARD ACCESS” is being displayed, you
cannot proceed with the next recording.
Note:
• If you wish to record without locating a subject at the
center of screen, first locate the subject at the center
of screen, press the PHOTO button halfway down,
determine the composition to be recorded, and then
press the PHOTO button all the way down.
• If you press the PHOTO button all the way down at
one stroke without pressing it half way, recording will
be possible, but the focus may be incorrect.
• If focusing is difficult with auto focus, choose manual
focus, and manually correct the focus before
recording (see page 53).
• See “SIZE AND QUALITY OF PHOTOS” on page 152
for details of photos on card.
• See “Troubleshooting” on page 141 if recording
photos is not possible.
• Shake of the DVD video camera/recorder may cause
blur in recorded image.
• When holding the DVD video camera/recorder for
recording, grasp it securely with both hands.
• When recording with higher zoom magnification, it is
recommended that you secure the DVD video
camera/recorder on a tripod.
• The range of screen in which recording is possible will
be different for movie and still.
• There may be a difference between the image you
see on the LCD screen or viewfinder and the
recorded image.
