Recording Pictures From A Vcr - Sony HVR-Z7E Operating Manual

Recording pictures from a VCR

You can record pictures from a VCR on a
tape. You can record a scene as a still image
on a "Memory Stick Duo." You can record
pictures in the HDV format by connecting
an HDV1080i specification compatible
device. Be sure to insert a cassette or a
"Memory Stick Duo" for recording in your
camcorder beforehand.
You can connect your camcorder to a VCR
device using an i.LINK cable.
Connect your camcorder to the wall socket
using the supplied AC Adaptor/Charger for
this operation (p. 14). Refer also to the
instruction manuals supplied with the
devices to be connected.
