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, then
the camcorder locks the focus.
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.
