SNAPSHOT RECORDING

1 Press SNAPSHOT.

•Regardless of the Power Switch position ( “” or “”), Snapshot recording takes place using the selected Snapshot mode.

If you press during Record-Standby . . ..... a still image will be recorded for approx.6 seconds, then the camcorder re-enters the Record-Standby mode.If you press during Recording . . .

.... a still image will be recorded for approx.

6 seconds, then the normal recording resumes.

NOTES:

●When the remaining number indicator displays “0” (blinking), the still image will be recorded onto the tape

but not in the built-in memory. If you wish to store a still image in the built-in memory,  pg. 33.

●If a snapshot is taken while the camcorder is in the WIDE mode ( pg. 41), the snapshot image is recorded without the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

●When a Snapshot is taken in a dark environment, the still image recorded onto the tape and stored in memory will become coarse and its true colours will be lost.

●The Snapshot mode can also be used during playback. However, only the Full mode is available regardless of the Snapshot mode setting, and the shutter sound is not heard.
