If the subject is unsuitable for autofocus ( 154), the camcorder may not be able to focus, and F may continue to flash white in the display. Continue to hold the PHOTO button halfway down, then adjust the focus manually with the selector dial.

If you are using manual focus ( 76), the F mark starts as a continuous green mark. Focus with the selector dial.

The camcorder takes the image immediately, and then records the “photo” to the tape for approximately 6 seconds. During this time the camcorder also records the sound, and the display shows the still image.

A counter display appears, and counts up as the camcorder records the still image. F disappears from the display.

The camcorder returns to record pause mode.

Notes:

The camcorder automatically returns to record pause mode after recording a still image for approximately 6 seconds. If you turn the POWER switch to OFF during that time, the camcorder will respond only after recording is complete.

The wireless controller’s PHOTO button has no half-way setting. Press the button fully and the camcorder immediately takes the “photo”.
