*3: Take care with the following when repairing video file:

a)If the disc is removed while it is being recognized, the repair function of video file will be invalid.

b)If the timing when power is turned off is inappropriate, normal repair may be impossible.

c)If the disc has data that was recorded on a device other than this DVD video camera/recorder, normal repair may be impossible.

d)The repaired data may be different from the original recorded content because of partial deletion of a defective portion.

e)The repaired data (only corrected portion in case of partial repair) will lose the original date/time information because the information for date/time when repair was executed will be added.

f)If “all repair” is executed, repair will be made in the order of all videos and all photos, and the time- sequential relationship of recorded contents may be lost.
