Album Function
The album function lets you collect desired scenes (both
moving and still pictures) and create the equivalent of a photo
album, but on video cassette. The pictures can be copied onto
the cassette from a digital video movie camera, a digital still
camera or a digital VCR for any desired time that you can
preset.
Hints:
≥ If you connect a digital still camera, use a camera equipped
with the video output socket. Use the cable supplied with
the still camera to connect it. For details, also read the
operating instructions of the equipment to be connected.
≥ If you leave the VCR in the recording pause mode for more
than 5 minutes in step 1 or 3, the VCR automatically
switches over to the stop mode to protect the video heads.
In this case, press the STILL ALBUM button @ again to put
the VCR in the recording pause mode again.
≥ If you want to add background music or narration to the
scenes recorded with the album function, perform Audio
Dubbing as explained on the page 37.
≥ Depending on the output system of the digital still camera,
the pictures may not be recorded correctly.
≥ If you dub still pictures from a conventional analogue video
movie camera or VCR, some picture distortion may occur in
the recorded picture.
