Taking Snapshots
1.
Remove the lens cap.
2.
Set the Power switch to
M
or
A
(manual or
automatic record). (The VIDEO or DSC indicator
comes on.)
3.
If the DSC indicator is not on, press the REFRESH
button for approximately 1 second. (The DSC
indicator comes on.)
4.
When you’re ready to take a picture, press
SNAPSHOT.
Notes:
•
When the remaining picture number icon
blinks 0, you must delete some pictures
before you can store new ones.
•
Some sample images have been stored in
the built-in memory at the factory. If you
want to delete them, first unprotect them
(see page 68), then delete them (see page
69).
•
If a snapshot is taken while the camcorder
is in the 16 x 9 mode (see page 78), the
snapshot image is recorded without the
black bars at the top and bottom of the
screen.
•
During the DSC recording, the zooming
(see page 40), Steady Pix™ (see page 41)
and Video Light (see page 42) functions
can be operated.
•
Snapshots are taken in a format based on
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group).
•
When you use the LCD monitor outdoors
under direct sunlight, the LCD monitor may
be difficult to see. If this happens, close the
LCD monitor and use the viewfinder
instead.
•
To store the snapshots you shot, we
recommend that you transfer them to a
computer and save them on disk (see page
73), or transfer them to a VCR connected to
the camcorder and record them onto a
tape.
