20 Capturing from an AV Device

If you have an AV device (such as a TV or a DVD player), you can connect it to the camera and record the video signal being sent (for example, the television program).

20.1 System Requirements

Your device must have a RCA-type AV output. For example, if you only have a TV with a scart connection, then you must have a scart / cinch adapter (see right). This adapter is not included, but can be purchased from specialist electronics outlets.

20.2 Connecting to the AV Device

Insert the phone jack of the AV cable included into AV input socket under the cover on the front of the device. Insert the three RCA plugs into your AV device’s AV output socket. The video signal is sent through the yellow plug, and the audio signal is sent through the red and white plugs.

Note:

If you are using a scart / RCA adapter, ensure that the switch (if there is one) is set to “Signal Out”.

20.3 AV Capture

Switch your AV device on and start playback. Now set the Mode switch to Capture and switch the camera on. You can now see the image from your AV device on the camera’s display. You can use the Capture button to start and stop the recording. You cannot use the zoom function or the auxiliary light when recording an AV signal.

Comment:

The recording is in MPEG-4 format, and is only restricted by the amount of free memory.

20.4 Capture Settings

To change settings, set your camera to the Capture mode for AV signals, as described above. Press the Menu button to get to the settings menu. Here, you can use the Navigation button (d and c) to choose between the following settings.
