Recording Movies and Photos

• About the power saving mode: If q

[Auto Power Off] is set to [i On], the camcorder will

shut off automatically to save power when it is powered by a battery pack and is left without any
operation for 5 minutes. Use the power switch to turn on the camcorder.

• When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the OLED screen. In such cases, you can

adjust the brightness of the OLED screen with the q

[OLED/VF Brightness] setting.

Alternatively, you can also use the viewfinder (A 21).

• Photos are recorded as JPG files. During

and

modes, the camcorder can take photos

during record standby mode or capture photos from a movie during playback (A 98). The photo
size and number of photos that can be saved on a 1 GB memory card are summarized in the
following table. However, the actual number of photos that can be recorded will vary depending on
the subject and shooting conditions.

• Photos cannot be recorded while the digital zoom is activated or during dual recording.
• You can capture a photo from a scene during playback (A 98).
• When you need to record for a long time with the camcorder set on a tripod, you can close the

OLED panel and use only the viewfinder in order to save power when using a battery pack (A 21).
