Shooting techniques for different targets (cont.)

Photo shots

Zebra pattern

You can record still pictures on tape just as if you were taking snapshots with an ordinary camera.

When the PHOTO SHOT button is pressed in the shooting pause mode, a still picture lasting for about 7 seconds is recorded.

Once the still picture has been recorded, the camera-recorder is set to the shooting pause mode.

A photo index for images recorded using the photo shot function is created, enabling you to perform a photo index search when the tape is played back to find any still pictures you have recorded. (P52)

O While shooting is in progress, still pictures cannot be recorded even when the PHOTO SHOT button is pressed.
