GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR CAMERA

Your movie camera can not only record video clips, you can also take still

photos and make audio recordings. For example, you can snap a still image

while recording a video clip, or make just an audio recording.

Twin menus for easy operation (see pages 50 and 74)

The novice photographer will have no problem taking beautiful pictures

using the easy settings on the PAGE 1 menu.

Of course, the PAGE 2 menu for the experienced photographer provides

full control over detailed camera settings.

Shooting video clips (page34)

You expect your camera to record great quality still photos, but you can

record 640 × 480-pixel video clips as well. The maximum 30-frames-per-

second shooting speed guarantees beautiful, flowing movies for you to

enjoy. Another bonus is the capability to record small file sizes that are

perfect for uploading to Internet websites.
