System
Photo shot index signals are automatically recorded when a
Panasonic Digital Video Camera is used for Photo shot
Mode. Photo shot images are searched using these signals,
and when such an image is located, the image is played
back as a still picture.
For example:
Searching for the 2nd photo shot image in the forward
direction.
1 Press SEARCH SELECT so that “PHOTO S - -”
appears on the VCR display.
2 Press INDEX/PHOTO twice.

After finding the specific image,
playback starts automatically.
To stop the operation at any time
Press (STOP).
For the reverse direction, press INDEX/PHOTO
Any of up to 20 images ahead on the tape can be
designated.
When the opposite INDEX/PHOTO is pressed, the
number shall be decreased until 1 is reached.
It may not be possible to search for a particular image
properly if photo shot images have been recorded
continuously.
At every press of the corresponding button, the tape is
fast-forwarded or rewound to the next still picture recorded
in the Photoshot Mode.
After reaching the next still picture, the still picture is
played back continually together with the sound (only for
approx. 4 seconds).
