Overlaying still images on movies on a tape – MEMORY MIX

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

[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.
