Recording a still image on a tape – Tape Photo recording
You can record an still image, for example, a photograph or drawing. This mode is
useful when you want to print a image using a video printer (not supplied).
You can record about 510 images in the SP mode and about 765 images in the LP mode
on a 60-minute tape.
Besides the operation described here, your camcorder can record still images on
“Memory Stick”s (p. 102).
(1) In the standby mode, keep pressing PHOTO lightly until a still image appears.
The CAPTURE indicator appears. Recording does not start yet.
To change the still image, release PHOTO, select a still 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
7 seconds. The sound during those 7 seconds is also recorded.
The still image is displayed on the LCD screen or in the viewfinder until
recording is completed.
