Recording pictures from a VCR
You can record pictures from a VCR on a
tape. You can record a scene as a still image
on a “Memory Stick Duo.” You can record
pictures in the HDV format by connecting
an HDV1080i specification compatible
device. Be sure to insert a cassette or a
“Memory Stick Duo” for recording in your
camcorder beforehand.
You can connect your camcorder to a VCR
device using an i.LINK cable.
Connect your camcorder to the wall outlet
using the supplied AC Adaptor/Charger for
this operation (p. 14). Refer also to the
instruction manuals supplied with the
devices to be connected.
b Notes
• You need an i.LINK cable for this operation.
• You cannot perform this operation with the A/V
connecting cable.
• Your camcorder has a 6-pin i.LINK terminal.
Select a cable that fits the terminal on the device
to be attached.
• Your camcorder can only record from an NTSC
source. For example, French video or TV
programs (SECAM) cannot be recorded
correctly. See page 120 for details on TV color
systems.
* An i.LINK jack which is compatible with
HDV1080i specification is required.
