Canon HFR16, HFR17 Saving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs DVD, 108 Š External Connections

IMPORTANT

•While the camcorder is connected to the DVD burner, do not open the memory card slot cover and do not remove the memory card.

•Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator on the camcorder is on or flashing. Failing to do so may result in permanent data loss.

-Do not open the memory card slot cover.

-Do not disconnect the USB cable.

-Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder or the DVD burner.

-AVCHD discs created using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner can be played back only with AVCHD-compatible DVD players or Blu-ray Disc players. Do not insert an AVCHD disc into a DVD player that is not compatible with AVCHD specifications as you may not be able to eject the disc.

•For important information on handling your discs, refer to

DW-100Cautions on handling.

NOTES

•If a scene does not fit entirely in one disc, it may be divided and con- tinue on the next disc.

•When the camcorder contains a large number of scenes to be saved on discs, it may take a long time for the connection to the DVD burner (step 2 above) to be completed. For best performance, we recommend limiting the number of scenes to be saved to 500 or fewer scenes. (With 500 scenes, it will take approximately 3 minutes to complete the con- nection.)

•In addition to the JPG image files, Photo DVDs contain a slideshow of all the photos saved (each played back for approximately 3 seconds).

// Saving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs (DVD)

You can convert your high-definition video recordings into standard definition and save them onto standard DVDs. These are ideal for shar- ing your videos with family and friends since, unlike AVCHD or Blu-ray discs, standard DVDs can be played back on most DVD players and computer DVD drives.
