PROGRES.REC (DCR-HC96) You can reduce image blur when recording moving pictures on tapes, intended for import to your computer as still images, by setting [PROGRES.REC] to [ON] ( ). This is especially useful for analyzing highspeed action, such as sports scenes. To cancel [PROGRES.REC], touch [OFF].
