Features of DVD Camcorder
Recording on DVD-RAM Disc
This DVD camcorder uses a DVD-RAM disc, the first in the world. The video and
audio are stored on an 8 cm DVD-RAM disc that is capable of holding approximately
2.8 GB data using both sides.
Using the DVD-RAM disc allows you to record without overwriting previous record-
ings, and to store your valuable recordings for as long as need be while retaining
clarity. With the DVD-RAM disc you can immediately access recording and playback,
in contrast to videotape that must be fast forwarded and rewound.
In addition, simply loading a disc into a PC, equipped with DVD-RAM drive and soft-
ware compatible with 8 cm DVD-RAM, allows you to easily view the recorded image.
Recording Movie and Still
The DVD camcorder can record movies of events and sports, in the same way as with
conventional camcorders. The DVD camcorder can also record stills as with a digital
still camera. With the 1,100,000 pixel CCD, high-quality movies and stills can be
recorded. In both recordings of movie and still, zooming up to 48 times is possible
using the 12 times optical zoom multiplied by the 4 times digital zoom. Movies and
stills can be recorded on the same disc, by simply switching the recording mode.
Immediate Reviewing of Recorded Image
You can check the movie or still recorded in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
Editing in Various Ways on DVD Camcorder Alone
This DVD camcorder is provided with a useful editing/playback tool. Disc Navigation
allows you to easily attach a title or special video effect to the recorded movie or still.
With Disc Navigation, you can arrange the playback order and edit multiple images to
play them back continuously. You can create an entire movie on this DVD camcorder
alone, without inputting video to a PC for editing.
