PhotoShot Recording on the DV Cassette
With this function, you can record still pictures with sound for approximately
7 seconds each on the Cassette.
1
Slide the [TAPE/CARD] Selector to [TAPE].

Press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button in the Recording Pause
Mode.
The Palmcorder records a still picture for about 7 seconds and then
switches back to the Recording Pause Mode.
PhotoShot Recording results in slightly inferior image quality.
ªProgressive PhotoShot
TM
Mode
With the Progressive PhotoShot
TM
Mode, you can record still pictures with
higher resolution than with the normal PhotoShot Function.
After setting [PROGRESSIVE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-menu to [ON]
or [AUTO], press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button in the Recording Pause Mode.
[æ] is displayed.

This Function may not work with some function settings. (l 60)
If you select Card Mode, [PROGRESSIVE] is set to [ON].
ªContinuous PhotoShot
If the [PHOTO SHOT] Button is held down with the [SHUTTER] of the
Sub-Menu [OTHER FUNCTIONS] set to [ON], the Palmcorder will record still
images without interruptions every 0.7 seconds until the button is released.
The screen blinks and, at the same time, a shutter clicking sound is
recorded. (This function, however, is not enabled when Progressive
PhotoShot is set to [ON] or [AUTO].)
ªDigital Still Picture
When the [CAMERA STILL] Button
2
is pressed, images become still
pictures. When the Button is pressed again, the Digital Still Picture Mode is
cancelled.
We recommend that you press the [CAMERA STILL] Button first at the
position where you want to record the picture and then press the
[PHOTO SHOT] Button.
For the still pictures taken in the Continuous PhotoShot Mode or Digital Still
Picture Mode, PhotoShot index signals are not recorded.

Zoom In/Out Functions
It gives special effects to the Palmcorder by Recording objects close by or
with wide-angle shot.
1
For wide-angle shots (zoom out):
Press the [W/T] zoom lever towards [W].
For close-ups (zoom in):
Press the [W/T] zoom lever towards [T].
Zoom magnification is displayed for a few seconds.
Generally speaking, when the [W/T] zoom lever is pressed further towards
[W] or [T], the zooming speed gradually increases.
Taking Close-up Shots of Small Subjects (Macro Close-up Function)
When the zoom magnification is 1k, the Palmcorder can focus on a subject
that is as close as approximately 1.5 inches (35 mm) from the lens. With this,
small subjects such as insects can be recorded.
For other notes, see page 60.
