Snapshot
This interesting feature lets you record two types of digital
still images that look like photographs onto a tape, as well
as keeping them in the camcorder’s built-in memory. It is a
great way to spice up footage of events such as parties,
weddings and graduations.

When the remaining number indicator displays “0”
(blinking), the still image will be recorded onto the tape
but not in the built-in memory. If you wish to store a still
image in the built-in memory,
pg. 33.
●
If a snapshot is taken while the camcorder is in the
WIDE mode (
pg. 41), the snapshot image is recorded
without the black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen.
●
When a Snapshot is taken in a dark environment, the
still image recorded onto the tape and stored in memory
will become coarse and its true colors will be lost.
●
The Snapshot mode can also be used during playback.
However, only the Full mode is available regardless of
the Snapshot mode setting, and the shutter sound is not
heard.
