Capturing a Still Image while
Recording Movies

While you are recording a movie on the disc you can simultaneously capture the same
picture as a still image on the memory card without interrupting your recording to change
modes. The size of the still image will be S 640x480 and cannot be changed, but the
image quality can be selected.

1. Set the camcorder to record movies (

).

2. Press the FUNC. button.

3. First, select (

) the current image recording symbol from the left

side column and then select (

) the desired image quality from the

bottom bar.

4. Press the FUNC. button to save the setting and close the menu.

5. While you are recording a movie, press the PHOTO button.

The still image is recorded on the memory card while the screen continues to show
the video recording.

 The quality of the still image is slightly lower than a still image of the same size

recorded in the

mode.

 The still image cannot be recorded on the memory card while recording in

widescreen or while a digital effect is activated.

 The still image cannot be recorded simultaneously on the disc. Make sure that

the memory card is selected as the media for still images (
