Hi all, hoping someone can assist with this. Panasonic "support" has been no help.
Recently got a HC-V800 just for some walk around recording while hiking. While I shoot stills with my DSLR, the stills capability of this camcorder is still something I'd like to occasionally use. However I simply am unable to get the settings to make available the maximum still picture resolution listed in the specs of this model, which is meant to be 25.9MP. The maximum option showing is 14mp.
The manual is of no help in this regard. It covers multiple models, and the consensus I get from reading it is that to activate max still picture resolution, the camera needs to be in "still picture mode" and not video mode. But this model has no still picture mode that I can find. The one button is to toggle between video recording mode and playback mode. So I'm at a dead end on how to get that still picture setting of 25.9mp to show in the settings menu.
Can anyone assist with this.. if so I'd be very thankful (it's become very frustrating, knowing the specs list the setting but no matter what I do I can not make it happen in camera). Thanks
