NOTES

Depending on the number of images on the memory card or disc (Windows: more than

1,800 images; Macintosh: more than 1,000 images), you may not be able to download images to a computer. Try using a card reader to download the still images recorded on the memory card.

Connection to a PictBridge compatible printer will not work when the memory card contains more than 1,800 images. For best performance, we recommend keeping the number of images on the memory card under 100.

O CAPTURE THE STILL IMAGE

While you are recording a movie,

The still image is recorded on the memory card while the screen continues to show the video recording.

NOTES

The still image cannot be recorded simultaneously on the disc.

The still image cannot be recorded on the memory card while a digital effect is activated.

The still image also cannot be recorded on the memory card while recording in widescreen mode.

To record still images we recommend using the mode, which offers the best quality for still images.
