FEATURES FOR RECORDING
This feature lets you record still images that look like
photographs onto a tape.
1 Set the VIDEO/MEMORY Switch to “VIDEO”.
2 Set the Power Switch to “M” while pressing down
the Lock Button located on the switch.
3 Open the LCD monitor fully, or pull out the
viewfinder fully.
4 Set “SNAP MODE” to the desired mode.
(੬ pg. 38, 44)
5 Press SNAPSHOT.
● 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.
● Regardless of the Power Switch position (“A”
or “M”), Snapshot recording takes place using
the selected Snapshot mode.
NOTES:
● To remove the shutter sound, refer to “BEEP” on
page 47.
● If Snapshot recording is not possible, the “O”
indication blinks when SNAPSHOT is pressed.
● If Program AE with special effects (੬ pg. 41) is
engaged, certain modes of Program AE with
special effects are disabled during Snapshot
recording. In such a case, the icon blinks.
● If SNAPSHOT is pressed when “DIS” is set to
“ON” (੬ pg. 45), the Stabilizer will be disabled.
● During playback as well, all snapshot modes
except Nega mode are available when
“ COPY” is set to “OFF” in VIDEO Menu.
(੬ pg. 50) However, the shutter sound is not
heard.
● During Snapshot recording, the image displayed
in the viewfinder may be partially missing.
However, there is no effect in the recorded image.
● When the S/AV/Editing cable is connected to the
S/AV connector, the shutter sound is not heard
from the speaker, however it is recorded onto the
tape.
Motor Drive Mode
Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed in step 5 provides an
effect similar to serial photography. (Interval
between still images: approx. 1 second)
