Enjoying with Your Camcorder

Enjoy using various “Media” according to your needs

You can select desired media for recording/playback/editing from the internal memory (DCR-

DVD810), a disc or a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” (p. 28). To set the media for movies or still

images, you can select either [MOVIE MEDIA SET] or [PHOTO MEDIA SET] (DCR-

DVD810) according to your needs.

Using the [MOVIE DUB] function on the camcorder, you can dub movies recorded on the

internal memory (DCR-DVD810) or a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” to a disc without

connecting another device (p. 55).

• You may not be able to dub movie contents depending on the type of your camcor der. For details on the
