Choosing the Movie Mode (Normal/Frame)
The Frame mode can be used when you want to look at a video, scene by scene, free from field slippage
(the “flicker” that normally occurs when you pause a video). The vertical resolution of the image is
improved by 1.5×. During playback, pause the video any time you like to view a crystal clear still image in
the display or on a connected TV screen. It is also possible to transfer your favorite still pictures to a PC for
image enhancement and print out.
1. Turn the POWER dial to any recording program except Easy Recording.
2. Open the camera menu, and point the arrow at MOVIE MODE.
3. Choose the FRAME setting and close the menu.
• FRAME appears in the viewfinder.
Notes:
• To return to normal video shooting, you need to re-select NORMAL from MOVIE MODE at the camera
menu.
• Frame mode cannot be used with the Easy Recording program, on the slow shutter digital effects.
• Frame video may not appear completely smooth during normal playback.
