Shooting with all the pixels - PROG. SCAN To import moving images to your PC to view still images, we recommend you record in progressive recording mode. To use progressive recording mode, follow the procedure below. Still images produced this way are more stable than those recorded on tapes in normal mode, and thus are more suitable for analyzing high-speed action such as sports scenes. (Since this camcorder takes in an image every 1/15 of a second in progressive recording mode, moving images recorded in this mode may be subject to too much jitter. To view moving images, we recommend recording in normal mode.) Advanced Recording Operations (1) Press MENU to display the menu in standby mode. (2) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select , then press the dial. (3) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select PROG. SCAN, then press the dial. (4) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select ON, then press the dial. (5) Press MENU to erase the menu display. The PROG. SCAN indicator lights up. 1 MENU 5 MENU PROG.

SCAN ON SETUP RETURN [MENU] : END [MENU] : END To return to normal mode Select OFF in step 4, then press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial. Note on the progressive recording mode A normal TV broadcast divides the screen into two finer fields and displays them in turns every 1/60 of a second. Thus, the actual image displayed in an instant covers only half of the apparent image area. Displaying the whole image simultaneously on a full screen is called displaying with all the pixels. In this mode, the resolution of the still picture is clearer than in the normal mode. This camcorder takes in an image every 1/15 of a second, which may cause the image of a moving object to go out of focus. This camcorder is originally programed to record in the normal TV format. When shooting under fluorescent light When shooting in progressive recording mode under fluorescent light or light bulbs, a rare phenomenon may happen in which the screen lights up brightly (Flicker phenomenon). This is not a malfunction. If you want to stop this phenomenon, set PROG. SCAN to OFF in the menu settings. In the progressive recording mode You cannot use the following operations: - Digital zooming - Wide mode When the auto logo insert function is activated You cannot use the progressive mode. 35
