Recording Still Pictures on the
Cassette

The Progressive Photoshot Function lets you record
still pictures with higher resolution than the normal
Photoshot Function. This is ideal for example for
pictures that you want to print with a Digital Video
Printer or import into a computer.

Frame Moving Pictures (Frame Mode)
Frame moving-picture recording makes it possible to
obtain natural still pictures with a high picture quality,
even when the scenes involve a lot of movement
recording frame still pictures continuously at a rate of 25
frames a second. (It is also possible to record sound.)
Set the [REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-
Menu to [FRAME]. And after pressing the [MENU] Button
to exit the Menu, press the Recording Start/Stop Button.

If you set [REC MODE] to [FRAME], it is not
possible to use a digital effect. (p. 50)
≥
Set [REC MODE] to [NORMAL] for regular recording.

Progressive Photoshot Function
≥
Usually, still pictures recorded with 3-CCD Movie Cameras are field still pictures, whose vertical resolution
is approximately half of that of frame still pictures, and picture details are not very precise. (1 frame
consists of 2 fields.)
≥
When recording moving objects, there is a slight difference between two fields. If these field still pictures
are recorded as a frame still picture, it will have broken up image contours.
≥
To record still pictures with smooth contours in excellent picture quality, this Movie Camera is equipped
with the Progressive Photoshot Mode featuring:
an iris that closes like a shutter
2 field memories
Actual operation:
≥
Pressing the [PHOTO SHOT] Button
≥
Closing the iris instantaneously to prevent the next image from entering through the lens
≥
Storing the same picture data in 2 field memories
≥
As a result, the recorded frame is made up of two fields taken at exactly the same time, and the resolution
is approximately 50% higher to ensure a picture with smooth contours.
≥
When you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button in the Progressive Photoshot Mode, a click sound can be
heard. This is caused by the closing of the iris and is not an indication of malfunction.
≥
When you record a still picture in the Progressive Photoshot Mode while [PROG.AE] on the [CAMERA
SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to Sports Mode [
5
] (p. 48) or Portrait Mode [
7
] (p. 48), the picture
brightness may vary from picture to picture.
