Photo recording

You can record a still picture like a photograph. This mode is useful when you want to
record a picture such as a photograph or when you print a picture using a video printer
(not supplied).
You can record about 510 pictures in the SP mode and about 765 pictures in the LP
mode on a 60-minute tape.
Besides the operation described here, your camcorder can record still pictures on
"Memory Stick"s (p. 90).
(1) Set the POWER switch to CAMERA.

appears. The CAPTURE indicator appears. Recording does not start yet.
To change the still picture, release PHOTO, select a still picture again, and then
press and hold PHOTO lightly.
(3) Press PHOTO deeper.
The still picture in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen is recorded for about
seven seconds. The sound during those seven seconds is also recorded.
The still image is displayed in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen until
