SIZE AND QUALITY OF PHOTOS
The pixel size of stills (JPEG) that can be recorded
on this DVD video camera/recorder is as follows:
The following table shows the file size and quality
of one still (JPEG) recorded on card:
Although still images are recorded on DVD-RAM
disc only in the FINE mode, the quality mode can
be chosen when recording stills on card. (P. 97)
The file size of a photo recorded on DVD-RAM
disc in “N PHOTO” status is equal to or larger
than that recorded on card using the FINE quality
in “P PHOTO”.
* JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group.
JPEG is one of the photo image compression
standards. It is widely used in digital still cameras
since JPEG files can be used on ordinary PC. When
this DVD video camera/recorder records on
DVD-RAM disc in “N PHOTO” status, a JPEG
photo will be recorded, along with a photo that
conforms to the DVD video recording (DVD-VR)
format which is used to be output to TV
(see “Terminology”, P. 160). Only JPEG photos
will be recorded on SD memory card.
Note
:
• No still can be recorded on DVD-R disc.
• Since the file size is restricted in all quality modes when
recording photos on card (
P PHOTO), the quality of
photos on card may be inferior to those recorded on
DVD-RAM disc (
N PHOTO).
