Still Image Recording Options
52
When printing still images, use the following
guidelines as a reference for selecting the print
size.
Capturing a Still Image while Recording
Movies
You can record still images on the
memory card even while the camcorder is
set to mode. You can also
capture simultaneously, as a still image
on the memory card, the same picture
you are recording as video on the tape.
The size and quality of the still image can
be selected.
POINTS TO CHECK
Select the size and quality of the still
image in record pause mode before you
start recording.
Default value
* The number displayed on the right corner
indicates the approximate number of images
that can be recorded with the current quality/
size setting.
Press to capture the still
image on the memory card.
The still image is recorded on the memory
card while the screen continues to show
the video recording.
NOTES
The still image cannot be recorded on the
memory card while using the digital zoom or
while a digital effect is activated.
To record still images we recommend using
the mode, which offers the best
quality for still images.
Capturing a Still Image from the
Playback Picture
While you are playing back a tape you
can capture the picture as a still image on
the memory card. The quality of the
captured still image can be selected but
its size cannot be changed (it will depend
on the recording standard of the tape
being played back).
