Using the flash memory function – introduction

Your camcorder has a built-in flash memory with a capacity of 2MB.

The built-in flash memory can record still images, exchange still image data with tapes and play back and delete the still image data. If you use the supplied accessories, you can input still image data to your PC. This chapter explains the functions that are available using the built-in flash memory.

Recording an image in the built-in flash memory may result in a temporary power shortage in the accessory shoe, causing the video light to go out. This is not a malfunction.
