What you can do with your camcorder
* DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a high-capacity optical disc.
No rewinding to start recording (p.31, 34)
Recorded images are stored in empty areas on the
disc so there is no risk that valuable recordings are
accidentally overwritten.
Since no rewinding is necessary prior to recording,
you can start shooting any time you desire.
b Notes
• Still images can be recorded only on "Memory Stick
Duo."
You can find a scene quickly using a VISUAL
INDEX screen (p.32, 39)
The VISUAL INDEX screen allows you to check
recorded at a glance. All you have to do is touch the
scene you want to view.
The disc does not wear out no matter how many
times you play it back. The precious moments you
have captured on disc last for a long time.
Records widescreen format and 5.1ch surround
sound (p.36, 37)
You can record high quality widescreen images on a wide
LCD screen that shows the same 16:9 angle of view as a
wide TV. Realistic 5.1ch surround sound can also be
directly recorded onto the disc.
b Notes
• Some models may not support wide screen and 5.1 ch surround
recording.
