TAKE SNAPSHOT

Press the SNAPSHOT Button. “PHOTO”
appears in the LCD monitor, and the image,
bordered by a white frame, will be recorded
and displayed in the LCD monitor for 6
seconds. The next image then gradually
overlaps the snapshot and normal recording
resumes.
•When using the Snapshot function from
Record/Standby, the camcorder returns to
Record/Standby after 6 seconds.
•The sound effect of a shutter closing is
recorded together with the image.

Motor Drive mode:

Keeping SNAPSHOT pressed provides an effect
similar to serial photography. (The interval between
the still pictures: approx. 0.7 seconds).

Changing the Snapshot Setting:

•Still image with no frame can also be recorded
(Z pg. 32).
•When you don't want to hear the shutter sound,
set BEEP/TALLY to "NO" in the system menu
(Z pg. 32). Though the sound is not heard from
the speaker, it is recorded on the tape.
