Switching Movie Quality (VIDEO Mode)
Choose the movie quality from “XTRA” (only with DVD-RAM disc), “FINE”, “STD” and “LPCM” (only with
DVD-R disc).
1 Press the MENU button,
choose “VIDEO Mode” on
the “Record Functions
Setup” menu screen, and
then press the A button.
2 Choose the desired quality
mode, and then press the A button.
3 Press the MENU button to end the setting.
Note:
• The movie quality setting will be stored in memory even
when the DVD Video Camera is turned off.
• The “VIDEO Mode” setting will not change even if the
DVD-RAM disc is replaced with a DVD-R disc, or vice
versa. However, the setting will switch to “FINE” in the
following cases:
- When the mode is set to “XTRA” with a DVD-RAM disc
inserted and then the disc is replaced with a DVD-R
disc
- When the mode is set to “LPCM” with a DVD-R disc
inserted and the disc is replaced with a DVD-RAM disc
• When using DVD-R disc, you cannot switch the movie
quality while recording on the disc: The DVD Video
Camera will be automatically set to the movie quality 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 as slowly as possible. (Block noise is likely to appear in “STD”
mode):
• If there is a complicated pattern in the background (as in figure on botton left)
• If the DVD Video Camera is moved excessively or quickly
• If subject is moving rapidly even when the DVD Video Camera is not moving
It is recommended that you record critical subjects in “XTRA” or “FINE” when you are using a DVD-RAM
disc, or in “FINE” with a DVD-R disc.
