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.

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

recorded. (This function, however, is not enabled when Progressive
PhotoShot is set to [ON] or [AUTO].)

Taking Close-up Shots of Small Subjects (Macro Close-up Function)
When the zoom magnification is 1a, the Palmcorder can focus on a subject
that is as close as approximately 1.5 inches (35 mm) from the lens. With this,
small subjects, such as insects, can be recorded.

To Use the Zoom Microphone Function

Along with the zooming operation, the microphone’s directional angle and
sensitivity are varied for recording audio.
≥Set [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] >> [RECORDINGSETUP] >> [ZOOM MIC]
>> [ON]. (The [Z.MIC] Indication is displayed. 1)
≥The Zoom Microphone Function may not work effectively if the surrounding
noise is too loud.
≥When the [TAPE/CARD] Selector is set to [CARD], the Zoom Microphone
Function does not work.
≥For other notes, see page 60.
