Using a Card

A Card can be used to record still pictures.

≥Use genuine Card only.

ª Inserting a Card

Before inserting a Card, be sure to turn off the Movie Camera.

1 Open the Card Slot Cover (16).

(16)

2 While holding the Memory Card with its cut corner

facing right 1, insert it into the Card Slot

3 Close the Card Slot Cover (16) securely.

Removing the Card

Open the Card Slot Cover and press the centre of the Card and then pull it straight out.

≥After removing the Card, close the Card Slot Cover. ≥The Movie Camera may be damaged if the Card is forced

out when the Card is fully inserted.

≥When the [TAPE/CARD/CARD MODE] Selector

(13) is set

to [CARD], you cannot record to the Tape.

ª Card Photoshot

Still pictures can be recorded on the Memory Card from the Movie Camera lens as well as from scenes that have already been recorded on a cassette. The size of images that are recorded using this Movie Camera is approximately 3 million pixels, and recording of images with a size that is larger than a million pixels is called mega-pixel still-picture recording. Compared to images of normal recording, images that are created by mega-pixel still-picture recording can be printed out clear.
