Still Features
The ZR700 captures stills on an SD card at a max resolution of 1024 x 768, while its parent model, the ZR400, was capable of taking stills at a higher resolution of 1152 x 864. That maximum performance can only be found by moving up to the Elura-class camcorder this year. The reduction in imager and still resolution will affect the image quality of the stills captured. Beyond the resolution, the new ZR700’s still feature set has not changed much. Both camcorders can take stills at compression levels of Fine, SuperFine and Normal. Most of the same manual controls are available in both video and still mode. Fewer shutter speed options are available in still mode: 1/60, 1/100, 1/250.
