Using The Still Video Modes

The still video modes are for non-moving video images. By taking more than one sample over time from your video source, and using new sampling techniques, Snappy can create images even better than the video it came from. These modes are very useful for still life shots, product photos, and digital photography.


Here's The Secret!

In order to obtain the best results when using any of Snappy's still video modes, please keep in mind the following fact:

Snappy looks at the video source more than once when you use any still video mode. If anything at all moves or changes in the video image then your image won't look right!

Therefore, To Make A Perfect Picture:

Turn off the Auto-Iris and/or Auto-Focus features of your camcorder.

Avoid fluorescent lights as their flicker may interfere with Snappy.

Also, loud music or noise can vibrate the camera, so shhhh!

Make sure that there is no movement at all anywhere nearby while Snappy is at work. This includes motion which may cause subtle changes in the lighting and shadows. Snappy is so sensitive that it will notice any change whatsoever, and so will you because your picture won't look as good as it can!
