Taking Still Pictures (Photo Mode) - Canon Ultura Instruction Manual

Taking Still Pictures (Photo Mode)

You can record still pictures like a photograph. The camera records the picture to
tape for approximately 6 seconds. The exposure is automatically adjusted.
You can capture the still images on your computer, enhance or retouch the images
and print the images out. (Optional IEEE 1394 computer interface board required.)
1. Set the camera to photo standby mode (slide the POWER switch to
[ (Easy Recording) or Q, turn the standby lever to PHOTO).
• "PHOTO" is shown at the bottom right of the display.
2. Press the start/stop button lightly.
• F flashes white in the display as the camcorder adjusts the focus and
exposure and it is displayed continuously as a green mark when the camera
is ready to take the still picture. (The focus, exposure, and zoom are now
locked. Also, you cannot turn the image stabilizer on /off.)
• To change the still picture before recording: release the button, select a new
picture and then press down the start/stop button lightly once more.
• If the subject is unsuitable for autofocus (p. 84), the camera may not be in
focus, despite displaying the green mark. In this case: release the start/stop
button, adjust the focus manually (p. 52) and retry.
3. Press the start/stop button fully down to take the still picture.
• The camera takes the image almost immediately, and then records the
"photo" to the tape for approximately 6 seconds. During this time the camera
also records the sound, and the display also shows the still picture.
• A counter display is shown, that counts up to 6 secs as the camcorder
records the picture. F disappears from the display.
