FEATURE: Picture Mode Setting

PURPOSE:

There are two image settings you can choose from when storing in the camcorder's memory: FINE and STANDARD. FINE allows you to shoot up to approx. 30 still images in a format based on JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Since the quality of image is better than “STANDARD”, “FINE” is more suitable for post-production on a PC. “STANDARD” allows you to shoot up to approx. 60 still images in a format based on JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group). Since in this mode, twice as many still images can be shot as in the “FINE” mode, select this mode when you wish to shoot many still images.

OPERATION:

1)Turn the LENS COVER Open/Close Ring to open the lens cover, and set the System Select Switch to “D.S.C.”. Set the Power Switch to “PRO.”.

2)Press MENU. The Menu Screen appears.

If you wish the Picture Mode to return to the previous setting, rotate the Select Dial to move the highlight bar to “RETURN”.

3)Rotate the Select Dial to move the highlight bar to “PICTURE”, and press it. The PICTURE Menu appears.

Rotate the Select Dial to move the highlight bar to “FINE” or “STANDARD”, and press it. Selection is complete.

4)The Menu Screen reappears with the highlight bar on “RETURN”. Press the Select Dial again to close the Menu Screen.
