About the screen indications while recording still pictures
About picture size
Picture sizes in which still pictures will be recorded differ depending on the [REC MODE] setting and
the [REC FORMAT] setting (l 114).
It is possible to record still pictures while recording motion pictures. (rec-and-capture)
It is recommended to use a tripod when recording under low light conditions because the shutter
speed becomes slow.
If rec-and-capture is used while recording a motion picture, the remaining recordable time will
shorten. If you turn off the unit or change the mode switch position, the remaining recordable time
may increase.
Maximum number of recordable pictures that can be displayed is 9999. If the number of
recordable pictures exceeds 9999, R 9999+ is displayed. The number will not change when the
picture is taken until the number of recordable pictures is 9999 or less.
The 16:9 still pictures recorded using this unit may be cropped at the edges when printed. So, be
sure to check before printing in the store or on your printer.
Please refer to page 152 about approximate number of recordable pictures.
The recording time may be long depending on the recording condition.
