Move the joystick down to select the [] icon.

If the cassette tape has no blank part, then the camera will stop at the end of the tape.

Recording a still picture on a tape (Photoshot)

Still pictures can be recorded from the movie camera lens.

Set to Tape Recording Mode.

1Press the [ ] button in the recording pause mode.

The movie camera records a still picture for about 7 seconds and then switches back to the recording pause mode.

If you set [ADVANCED] >> [SHTR EFFECT] >> [ON], you can add image and a sound like releasing the shutter.

Photoshot recording results in slightly inferior image quality.

ªContinuous photoshot

If you set [ADVANCED] >> [SHTR EFFECT] >> [ON] and keep the [] button pressed, the movie camera will continuously record still pictures in approx. 0.7 seconds intervals until the button is released.

The screen blinks and, at the same time, a shutter clicking sound is recorded.
