CARD-CAMERA
You can take a still picture in the same way as
you do with a standard camera and record that
image on the card.
1 Insert a card into the camcorder (see
page 13).
2 Remove the lens cap.
3 Set the Media Selection
switch to CARD.
4 Hold down the Lock button and set the
Power switch to CAMERA.
• The picture from the lens now displays.
5 Perform the steps in “Selecting a still
recording effect” to select a still record-
ing effect (see page 35).
6 Adjust the Power Zoom control to frame
the subject as you desire.
7 Press the STILL button half-way down to
focus on the subject.
• The camcorder automatically focuses on
the subject. When it is set, you will hear
a sound and see T mark, then the
camcorder locks the focus.
• If selecting “9 FRAMES” or “16
FRAMES” in step 5 above, the
camcorder does not lock the focus.
8 Press the STILL button fully to begin
recording.
• The S indicator flashes red while data
is being recorded on the card, and
returns to white when recording
completes.
• To record another image, release the
STILL button and make sure the picture
is not frozen in the monitor, then perform
steps 7 and 8.
Notes:
• Recording under insufficient lighting may result
in blurred images. It is recommended that you
use a tripod to record insufficiently illuminated
subjects.
• Recording under the light of a fluorescent,
mercury, or sodium lamp may cause flickering in
the image and, depending on the timing of the
shot, may result in changes to colour hue in the
image.
• Set the SOUND menu item to “OFF” to turn off
the focus locking sound.
• To capture clearer still images of still life picture,
set the MOTION menu item to “OFF” (see page
36).
Caution:
• Do not turn the power off while the S indicator
is flashing in step 8.
