INFORMATION ON DVD-R DISC

You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete any recorded images or data.

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 50 times. The DVD video camera/recorder will not perform “write adjustment” when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on again, from off, for recording with the disc in it, or when no recording is made, even if the disc is removed and then reinserted.
