To record still pictures clearly
• When zooming in on the subject with a
magnification of 4× to 10× or higher, it is difficult
to reduce the slight hand shaking from holding
the Camcorder. We recommend decreasing the
zoom magnification and approaching the subject
when recording.
• When recording still pictures, hold the
Camcorder firmly with your hands and keep your
arms stationary at your side so as not to shake
the Camcorder.
• You can record stable pictures without hand
shaking by using a tripod.
Notes:
• Even if the [ SHTR EFFECT] is set to [ON], the
Shutter Effect cannot be recorded on the picture.
• When the color of the screen changes or blurs,
adjust the shutter speed manually to 1/60 or 1/100.
• Photoshot Recording results in slightly inferior
image quality.
• For the number of still pictures to be recorded on a
card, refer to page 27.
• The sound cannot be recorded.
• While data is being recorded on a card, do not
operate the Mode Dial.
• When the Access Lamp is lit, do not insert or
remove a card.
• Another product may degrade or not play back data
recorded on this Camcorder.
• If set [
PICT. QUALITY] >> [ ], mosaic-pattern
noise may appear on a playback image depending
on the picture content.
