stunning XGA (1024 x 768 pixel) images onto the

Digital Photo Mode
Not only is the Elura 40MC an outstanding video camcorder, with digital photo
mode it becomes a digital still camera as well. Capture more than 700 crisp VGA
(640 x 480 pixel) still images on a single videocassette (in SP mode). Combine
video and still pictures together with the added benefit of
audio. The Elura 40MC can also capture approximately 90
VGA (640 x 480 pixel) pictures onto an 8MB SD Card.
SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard*
The Elura 40MC expands video possibilities with a built-in slot for an SD (Secure Digital) Memory
Card or a MultiMediaCard, in addition to a Mini DV cassette. These ultra-small and ultra-light
digital memory cards can record, store and manage still images and small video clips. Easily
transfer still images and movie clips to your PC directly from the camcorder. Copy still images
from videocassette to memory card, and vice versa. Produce effects not
possible with just a cassette using one of three types of Card Mix Effects.
Choose one of the sample images provided on the supplied SD Memory
Card (such as picture frame or crashing waves) then combine it with the
live video recording.
*An 8MB SD Memory Card is supplied with the camcorder.
