This feature lets you record still images that look like
photographs onto a tape.

“DV”.

pressing down the Lock Button located on the
switch.
3 Open the LCD monitor fully, or pull out the
viewfinder fully.

● The “O” indication appears and a still
image will be recorded for approx. 6 seconds,
then the camcorder re-enters the Record-
Standby mode.
● You can perform Snapshot also during
recording. A still image will be recorded for
approx. 6 seconds, then the normal recording
resumes.
To record still images not only on the tape but also
in the memory card
Set “REC SELECT” to “ / ”. (੬ pg. 40)
•The image size recorded in the memory card
differs depending on the recording mode; 640 x
480 (DV), 848 x 480 (SD) or 1280 x 720 (HD).
NOTES:

in the viewfinder may be partially missing.

the shutter sound is not heard from the speaker,
however it is recorded onto the tape.

Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed in step 4 provides an
