Mini DVCAM and mini DV cassettes

The recording format of the picture is

defined according to the recorder’s format

as described below.

bNotes

• This camcorder complies with the DVCAM

format.Though mini DV cassettes can be used

for recording, we recommend you use mini

DVCAM cassettes to get the most out of the

high reliability of the DVCAM format.

• The recording time of mini DV cassettes is 1/3

shorter than that indicated on mini DV cassettes

when recorded in the DVCAM format.

Compatibility on playbackCompatibility on editing using DV jacks

When this camcorder is connected to other

digital video equipment using an i.LINK

cable, the recording format of edited tapes

is defined according to the source tape and

the recorder’s format as described below.

Playback or editing using the edited tape

may be limited depending on dubbing

operation. Start dubbing after reading

“Limitations on editing” (p.119).

1)When using mini DVCAM video equipment to

perform DV dubbing of a tape recorded in DV

format, the tape produced will be in the

DVCAM format which the time code format

will be partly misadjusted. (there will be no

effect on the recorded picture except in certain

cases.)

2)If the tape that is to be dubbed is in the DVCAM

format as in 1), the tape produced will be in the

DVCAM format and the time code format will

be partly misadjusted.

3)Some mini DV video equipment may b e able to

play back a DVCAM-formatted tape. Even if

the tape is played back, quality of the playback

cannot be guaranteed. The time code format will

be partly misadjusted.
