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. 94)
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”.
* 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” 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. 155). 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), the quality of photos on
card may be inferior to those recorded on DVD-RAM disc (
N).
