Information on DVD-R Disc
You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete
any recorded images or data.
For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD
Video Camera writes control data to the disc in
order to automatically make adjustments when it is
inserted and ejected accompanying recording. If
the disc has no area for control data to be written,
recording may not be possible. To prevent this, do
not insert a DVD-R disc which has been recorded
on more than 50 times. The DVD Video Camera will
not perform “write adjustment” unless recording is
made. In most cases, “write adjustment” will not be
performed when the DVD Video Camera is turned
on from off with the disc in it, or when the disc is
removed and then reinserted.
lUsing a new disc
Recording images to a DVD-R using the DVD Video
Camera:
The disc must be formatted. (See page 47)
Recording to a DVD-R using DVDfunSTUDIO:
Do not format the disc. (See page 142)
lFinalizing DVD-R disc
Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc in a DVD player
or DVD video recorder that is compatible with 8 cm
DVD-R disc, the disc must be finalized on this DVD
Video Camera. For the finalizing procedure of 8 cm
DVD-R disc, refer to “Finalizing DVD-R Disc
(Finalize Disc)” (P. 127).
Note:
• When using an unformatted DVD-R disc, it is necessary
to format it on this DVD Video Camera (See page 47).
• Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD Video
Camera that has not been finalized into a recordable
device, such as a DVD video recorder: the recorded data
may be damaged.
• DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those finalized
on another DVD video recorder may not be playable on
this DVD Video Camera, depending on the editing
software used or recording status of DVD-R disc.
• Refer to the remaining time indicated on the LCD of DVD
Video Camera to check the capacity of DVD-R disc.
• DVD-R VR mode is not supported.
