Recording a still image on a tape – Tape Photo recording
You can record still images on mini DV tapes with all the pixels in the progressive
mode. See page 34 for details. This mode is useful when you print images using a video
printer (not supplied).
Besides the operation described here, your camcorder can record still images on a
“Memory Stick” (p. 120).
(1) In standby mode, keep pressing PHOTO lightly until a picture freezes. The
CAPTURE indicator appears. Recording does not start yet.
To change the image, release PHOTO, select an image again, and then press
and hold PHOTO lightly.
(2) Press PHOTO deeper.
The still image on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder is recorded for about
seven seconds. The sound during those seven seconds is also recorded.
The still image is displayed on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder until
recording is completed.

minute cassette.
