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 11).
2 Remove the lens cap.
3 Set the Media Selection switch to u.
4 Hold down the Lock button and set
the Power switch to v.
• The picture from the lens now
displays.
5 Adjust the Power Zoom control to
frame the subject as you desire.
6 Press the PHOTO 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 with
green light, then the camcorder locks
the focus.
• When camcorder locks out of focus,
T mark lights up yellow.
7 Press the PHOTO 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
PHOTO button and make sure the
picture is not frozen in the monitor,
then perform steps 6 and 7.
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 BEEP menu item to “OFF” to turn off
the focus locking sound.
• Do not turn the power off or remove the
card while the S indicator is flashing in
step 7.
