ªFrame Moving Picture (Frame Mode)

Frame moving-picture recording makes it possible to obtain natural still pictures with a high picture quality, even when the scenes involve a lot of movement recording frame still pictures continuously at a rate of 30 frames a second. (It is also possible to record sound.)

≥After setting [REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-menu to [FRAME], press the Recording Start/Stop Button.

≥When [REC MODE] is set to [FRAME], the Digital Effect 1 Function ([EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-menu) cannot be used.

≥For normal recording set [REC MODE] to [NORMAL].

ªContinuous Photoshot

If the [PHOTO SHOT] Button is held down with the [SHUTTER] of the Sub-Menu [OTHER FUNCTIONS] set to [ON], the Camera/Recorder will record still images without interruptions every 0.7 seconds until the button is released.

≥The screen blinks and, at the same time, a shutter clicking sound is recorded. (However, this function is not enabled when Progressive Photoshot is set to [ON] or [AUTO].)

ªDigital Still Picture

When the [CAMERA STILL] Button 2 is pressed, images become still pictures. When the Button is pressed again, the Digital Still Picture Mode is cancelled.

≥We recommend that you press the [CAMERA STILL] Button first at the position where you want to record the picture and then press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.

≥For the still pictures taken in the Continuous Photoshot Mode or Digital Still Picture Mode, photoshot index signals are not recorded.

Zoom In/Out Functions

It gives special effects to the Camera/Recorder by Recording objects close by or with wide-angle shot.

1For wide-angle shots (zoom out):

For close-ups (zoom in):

Press the [W/T] zoom lever towards [T].

Taking Close-up Shots of Small Subjects (Macro Close-up Function)

When the zoom magnification is 1a, the Camera/Recorder can focus on a subject that is as close as approximately 1.5 inch (35 mm) from the lens. With this, small subjects like insects can be recorded.

≥For other notes, see page 46.
