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.
