∫ 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.

Frame Moving Pictures (Frame Mode)
Frame moving-picture recording makes it possible to

frames a second. (It is also possible to record sound.)
Set the [REC MODE] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-
