FEATURES FOR RECORDING
LED Light can be used to brighten
the subject in the dark place
during video recording.
1 Press LIGHT repeatedly to change the
setting.
2 Press the Recording Start/Stop Button to
start video recording or SNAPSHOT to shoot a
still image.
NOTES:
● Be careful not to point the LED Light directly to
eyes.
● If the light does not reach the subject when the
LED Light setting is “ON”, the Night-Scope
function will be activated, and makes it possible to
shoot the subject brighter.
● Since subjects are shot at a reduced shutter
speed when the LED Light setting is “ON”, they
will appear slightly blurred.
This feature lets you record still images that look
like photographs onto a tape.
1 Set the Power Switch to “REC”.
2 Press SNAPSHOT.
● The “O” indication appears and a still image will
be recorded for approx. 5 seconds, then the
camcorder re-enters the Record-Standby mode.
● You can perform Snapshot also during recording. A
still image will be recorded for approx. 5 seconds,
then the normal recording resumes.
● If the image taken by snapshot is too dark or too
bright, select
(墌 pg. 30) or “SPOTLIGHT”.
