Taking Still Pictures
You can record still pictures like a photograph. The camcorder records the picture
and sound to tape for several seconds. The exposure is automatically adjusted.
Take still photos that you can record onto a floppy disk with the optional Floppy
Disk Still Image Recorder FR-100 (
48) and transfer to a PC for image
enhancement and printout. Also, starting your shooting with a still photo makes it
easy to find the beginning again later with the Photo Search function (
72).
You can take a still picture at any time during regular video recording, or you can
put the camcorder into record pause mode first, then take a still picture.
Press the PHOTO button fully down and the still picture will be taken
immediately.
• The camcorder takes the image immediately, and then records the “photo” to the
tape for approximately 6 seconds. During this time the camcorder also records
the sound, and the display shows the still picture.
• A counter display appears, and counts up as the camcorder records the picture.
• The camcorder returns to record pause mode.
1. Press the PHOTO button halfway down and hold it:

focus and it is displayed continuously as a green mark when the camcorder
is ready to take the still picture.
