Photo recording

You can record a still picture like a photograph for about seven seconds. This photo recording is useful when you want to enjoy a picture such as a photograph or when you print a picture using a video printer (not supplied). You can record about 510 pictures on a 60-minute tape in SP mode.

(1) While pressing the small green button on the POWER switch, set it to CAMERA.

(2) Keep pressing PHOTO lightly until a still picture and “PHOTO CAPTURE” appear on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder.

Recording does not start yet. To change the still picture, release PHOTO, select still picture again, and keep pressing PHOTO lightly again.

If you press PHOTO on the Remote Commander when a still picture appears on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder, the camcorder will record that still picture. However, you cannot select other still pictures by using this button.

(3) Press PHOTO deeper.

“PHOTO REC” flashes and the still picture on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder is recorded for about seven seconds. The sound during those seven seconds is also recorded and the picture on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder returns to moving picture. You cannot change the POWER switch or press PHOTO during recording.
