When using DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R disc, you cannot switch the setting on movie quality or wide- screen mode while recording on the disc: The DVD video camera/recorder will be automatically set to the movie quality or wide-screen mode 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.

If there is a complicated pattern in background (as in following figure on left);

If the DVD video camera/recorder is moved excessively or quickly;

If subject is moving rapidly even when the DVD video camera/recorder is not moving.
