Note
:
•
If you wish to record without locating a subject at the
centre of screen, first locate the subject at the centre
of screen, press the PHOTO button halfway down,
determine the composition to be recorded, and then
press the PHOTO button all the way down.
•
If you press the PHOTO button all the way down at
one stroke without pressing it half way, recording will
be possible, but the focus may be incorrect.
•
If focusing is difficult with auto focus, choose manual
focus, and manually correct the focus before
recording (see page 52).
•
See “SIZE AND QUALITY OF PHOTOS” on page 123
for details of photos on card.
•
See “Troubleshooting” on page 114 if recording
photos is not possible.
•
Shake of the DVD video camera/recorder may cause
blur in recorded image.
•
When holding the DVD video camera/recorder for
recording, grasp it securely with both hands.
•
When recording with higher zoom magnification, it is
recommended that you secure the DVD video
camera/recorder on a tripod.
•
The range of screen in which recording is possible will
be different for movie and still.
•
There may be a difference between the image you
see on the LCD screen or viewfinder and the
recorded image.
