Note
:
• The movie quality setting will be stored in memory even
when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off.
• The “VIDEO Mode” setting will not change even if the
DVD-RAM disc is replaced with a DVD-R disc, or vice
versa. However, the setting will switch to “FINE” in the
following cases:
- When the mode is set to “XTRA” with a DVD-RAM disc
inserted and then the disc is replaced with a DVD-R
disc
- When the mode is set to “LPCM” with a DVD-R disc
inserted and the disc is replaced with a DVD-RAM disc
• When using DVD-R disc, you cannot switch the movie
quality while recording on the disc: The DVD video
camera/recorder will be automatically set to the movie
quality first used with the disc for recording.
• The movie quality setting is effective only during movie
recording: The setting will not be displayed during
recording of stills.
It is recommended that you record critical subjects in the “XTRA” or “FINE” when you are using a DVD-
RAM disc, or in the “FINE” with a DVD-R disc. (P.29)
