Note:

•The movie quality setting will be stored in memory even when the DVD Video Camera is turned off.

•The “VIDEO Mode” setting will not change even if the DVD-RAM disc is replaced with a DVD-R disc, or vice versa. However, the setting will switch to “FINE” in the following cases:

-When the mode is set to “XTRA” with a DVD-RAM disc inserted and then the disc is replaced with a DVD-R disc

-When the mode is set to “LPCM” with a DVD-R disc inserted and the disc is replaced with a DVD-RAM disc

•When using DVD-R disc, you cannot switch the movie quality while recording on the disc: The DVD Video Camera will be automatically set to the movie quality 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.

Block-like noise may appear in recorded image, or the outline of subject image is distorted under the recording conditions listed below: Pan the DVD Video Camera as slowly as possible. (Block noise is likely to appear in “STD” mode):

•If there is a complicated pattern in the background (as in figure on botton left)

•If the DVD Video Camera is moved excessively or quickly

•If subject is moving rapidly even when the DVD Video Camera is not moving
