• When using DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R disc, you
cannot switch the setting on movie quality or wide-
screen mode while recording on the disc: The DVD
video camera/recorder will be automatically set to the
movie quality or wide-screen mode 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.
Block-like noise may appear in recorded image, or the outline of subject image is distorted under the
recording conditions listed below: Pan the DVD video camera/recorder as slowly as possible. (Block
noise is likely to appear in the “STD” mode):
• If there is a complicated pattern in background (as in following figure on left)
• If the DVD video camera/recorder is moved excessively or quickly
• If subject is moving rapidly even when the DVD video camera/recorder is not moving
It is recommended that you record critical subjects in the “XTRA” or “FINE” mode. (p. 29)
