2. Press the PHOTO button fully down to take the still picture.
• The camera takes the image 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 shows the still picture.
• A counter display appears, and counts up to 6 seconds as the camera records the picture. F disappears
from the display.
• The camera returns to record pause mode.
Notes:
• While the camera records the still, you cannot use the camera functions (POWER dial/STANDBY button
do not respond until recording is complete). This applies even when you haven't loaded a cassette.
• The wireless controller's PHOTO button has no half-way setting, press the button and the camera soon
takes the "photo".
• Only take "photos" where it is bright enough to see the image in the viewfinder.
• For even greater versatility, attach a Canon Speedlite for flash photography (available as optional
accessories, see page 60), when taking still pictures from record pause mode.
