Operation Manual

Taking Photographs during Recording

Press the shutter button to take a photograph during

recording.

• See page 88 for information on choosing how photo-

graphs are recorded.

• The photo is saved separately from the movie and

does not appear as part of the movie.

• Photos can not be taken while a high-speed movie

is being recorded.

• The number of photos that can be taken is limited.

• The indicator lamp lights while movies are being re-

corded. Do not open the battery chamber during

shooting or while the indicator lamp is lit. Failure

to observe this precaution could prevent the movie

from being played back.

• Vertical or horizontal streaks may appear in movies

containing very bright subjects. This is normal and

does not indicate a malfunction.

• The temperature of the camera may rise if it is used to

record movies for an extended period or if the ambi-

ent temperature is high. This is normal and does not

indicate a malfunction.
