Using the Full Range of Features
• If the subject is unsuitable for autofocus ( 98), the camcorder may not be
able to focus, and F may continue to flash white in the display. Continue to
hold the PHOTO button halfway down, then press the FOCUS button and
adjust the focus manually with the selector dial.
• If you are using manual focus ( 66), the F mark starts as a continuous
green mark. Focus with the selector dial.
2. Press the PHOTO button fully down to take the still picture.
• 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. F disappears from the display.
• The camcorder returns to record pause mode.
Notes:
• The camcorder automatically returns to record pause mode after recording a
still image for approximately 6 seconds. If you turn the POWER switch to OFF
during that time, the camcorder will respond only after recording is complete.
• The wireless controller’s PHOTO button has no half-way setting. Press the
button fully and the camcorder immediately takes the “photo”.
• Only take “photos” where it is bright enough to see the image in the display.
