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 file name of each recorded image consists of the
following two character strings.
First character string: An assigned character string of up
to four characters that is common to all the still images
captured in one record operation. The character string
can also be specified in the menu before capturing
images.
The first character string becomes the clip name when
consecutively captured images are treated as a frame
memory clip.
Second character string: A four-digit number (0000 or
greater). The number is incremented each time a still
image is captured.
Note
When using the record function to continuously capture
frames, the mask function cannot be used.
