SWITCHING EXTERNAL INPUT RECORDING METHOD (PHOTO INPUT)
When “Input Source: LINE” is specified, you can record stills of externally input images on either a

movement by specifying “Frame”, but “Field” is recommended for recording image with movement.
The DZ-GX5060SW cannot receive any externally input signal.

off.
