Sending Motion Pictures as Still Images

You can send motion pictures shot by the Camera or those output from the connected external equipment as still images.

When you are sending pictures that contain lots of text, it is recommended that you send them as still images. The images become clearer than motion pictures and the texts are easy to read.

Sending Still Images Using the Still Image Menu

While in communication with the remote party, you can send motion pictures shot by the local camera as still images. You can send one still image or still images continuously.

3 Adjust the camera angle and zoom and press the PUSH ENTER button, if necessary.

For details on the adjustments of the camera angle and zoom, see “Adjusting the Camera Angle and Zoom” on page 73.

The motion picture displayed on the local monitor screen freezes, and a still picture will be sent to the remote party. If you select “Send”, a still image is sent. When transmission is finished, the message “The still image has been sent.” appears.

When “Continuous Send” is selected, still images are sent continuously. The sending interval depends on the transmission rate and the image type.
