zTip

You can create a picture with color and brightness reversed or a picture that looks like a pastel drawing while recording on a tape. For details, refer to the Picture effect ([PICT.EFFECT], p. 59).

Overlaying still images on tape movies — MEMORY MIX

You can superimpose a still image you have recorded on a “Memory Stick Duo” over the movie you are currently recording on the tape. You cannot superimpose a still image on a tape which you have already finished recording. You can then record the superimposed pictures on a tape or a “Memory Stick Duo.” You can only record still images on a “Memory Stick Duo.”

[MTCAM LUMI.] (Memory Luminance key)

You can swap the brighter (white) area of a still image into a movie. To use this function, have a still image of an illustration or title handwritten on white paper recorded on a “Memory Stick Duo” beforehand.
