This DVD video camera/recorder can use only the 8-cm bare discs not packed in a square cartridge, square caddy case or round DVD holder. The discs in a square cartridge, square caddy case or round DVD holder can be used if they are removed from the package, but take great care not to dirty or scratch the bare disc.

Note:

•It is recommended that you use Hitachi Maxell HG type single-sided discs, since their compatibility with this DVD video camera/recorder has been confirmed. When using an HG type double-sided disc, take great care with handling it. Using a disc other than these discs may not allow the DVD video camera/recorder to deliver optimum performance.

INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC

For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD video camera/recorder writes control data to the disc in order to automatically make adjustments when it is inserted and ejected accompanying recording. If the disc has no area to be written for adjustment, recording may not be possible. To prevent this, do not insert or eject a DVD-R disc accompanying recording more than 100 times. This DVD video camera/recorder cannot record a DVD-R in the VR mode.

NOTES ON FINALISATION

•Do not insert a DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder but not finalised, into a recordable device, such as a DVD recorder: The recorded data may be damaged.

•Use only DZ-GX5100SW/GX5060SW to record on or finalise a DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW disc recorded on this DVD video camera/recorder but not finalised: Using any other device could damage the data recorded on the disc.

•DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW discs edited and finalised on PC or those finalised on another DVD recorder may not be playable on this DVD video camera/recorder, depending on the editing software used or recorded status of DVD-RW/DVD-R/+RW disc.

•If you insert a DVD-R disc recorded on a DVD video camera/recorder other than DZ-GX5100SW/ GX5060SW and not finalised, the Disc Navigation screen will automatically start, and no recording can be done on the disc nor can it be finalised.

•Do not insert a DVD-R that was recorded by a DVD recorder manufactured by a company other than Hitachi, and which has not been finalised, in this DVD video camera/recorder: Doing so will make the disc unusable.

DZ-GX5100SW, DZ-GX5060SW specifications

The Hitachi DZ-GX5060SW and DZ-GX5100SW are compact and versatile camcorders that combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, making them ideal for both amateur and experienced videographers. These models are part of Hitachi's impressive lineup, highlighting features that cater to a wide range of recording needs, from family gatherings to professional projects.

One of the standout features of both models is their ability to record high-quality video, with the DZ-GX5060SW supporting DVD-RAM and DVD-R recording. This ensures that users have flexible options for storing and sharing their footage. The DZ-GX5100SW enhances this capability, allowing for double-layer DVD recording, effectively doubling the storage capacity. Both camcorders utilize a 1/6 inch CCD sensor, which offers a resolution of 680,000 pixels for sharp and vibrant images.

The optical zoom feature in these models is particularly impressive. The DZ-GX5060SW is equipped with a 10x optical zoom, which allows users to capture subjects from afar without compromising image quality. The DZ-GX5100SW takes this a step further with a 16x optical zoom, making it perfect for wildlife filming or events where the subject may not always be close to the camera. Moreover, the use of image stabilization technology in both models helps to counteract jitter and shake during handheld recording, ensuring smooth and professional-looking videos.

Another distinguishing characteristic is the intuitive user interface. With a 2.7-inch LCD screen, both camcorders make it easy for users to frame their shots and navigate through menus without hassle. The screen is designed for easy viewing in various lighting conditions, ensuring that users can capture the perfect shot, even in challenging environments.

Beyond video recording, the DZ-GX5060SW and DZ-GX5100SW also feature snapshot capabilities, allowing users to take high-resolution still photos. This is particularly advantageous when a moment arises that you want to capture as a photo rather than a video.

Both models offer a plethora of connectivity options, including USB and RCA outputs, which facilitate easy transfer of videos to computers or television sets. With these camcorders, Hitachi has struck a balance between performance, usability, and innovative technology, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to capture special moments with reliability and ease.
