STORAGE CAPACITY OF DISC
Movie recordable time on one disc (on single side) (when recording only movies)
Note :
• If you record in XTRA mode at high temperatures, the DVD video camera/recorder will heat up and the maximum
transfer rate will be limited to approx. 6 Mbps, so the best quality will not be obtainable.
SIZE AND QUALITY OF PHOTOS
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. 63).
The file size of a photo recorded on DVD-RAM disc in “N” status is equal to or larger than that
recorded on card using the FINE quality in “P”.
Note
:
• No still can be recorded on DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW disc.
• Since the file size is restricted in all quality modes when recording photos on card (
P ), the quality of photos on
card may be inferior to those recorded on DVD-RAM disc ( N ).
