Overlaying still images on movies
on a tape – MEMORY MIX
You can superimpose a still image you have
recorded on a “Memory Stick Duo” over the
movie you are currently recording on a tape.
You can then record the superimposed
pictures on a tape or a “Memory Stick Duo.”
(You cannot superimpose a still image on a
tape which you have already finished
recording.)
[MTCAM LUMI.] (Memory Luminance

on white paper recorded on a “Memory Stick
Duo” beforehand.
[CAMTM CHROMA] (Camera Chroma

You can superimpose a movie on top of a still

the movie will be swapped with the still image.
