Continuously Capturing Still Images
(Record)
You can continuously capture (freeze) a sequence of input
video frames and store the sequence of the still images
over a specified time interval.
The name of each image recorded in this way consists of a
first character string followed by a second string.
First character string: A common part of name assigned
to all the still images captured in one record operation.
This string includes a maximum of four characters,
which can be specified using a menu before carrying
out the capture. The first string is automatically used
as the clip name when the images are treated as a frame
memory clip.
Second character string: A four-digit number (0000 or
greater), which is incremented each time a still image
is captured.
Notes
When using the record function to continuously capture
frames, it is not possible to use the mask function.
