Recording on Disc You can use both 8 cm DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs on this DVD video camera/recorder for recording. The recorded video and audio will be stored on an 8 cm DVD-RAM disc or 8 cm DVD-R disc. Using disc allows you to record without overwriting previous recordings, and also to store your valuable recordings for as long as need be while retaining clarity. With disc you can immediately access recording and playback, in contrast to videotape, which must be fast-forwarded or rewound. In addition, simply loading a DVD-RAM disc into a PC equipped with DVD-RAM drive and DVD video recording software compatible with 8 cm DVD-RAM allows you to easily view the recorded disc. You can finalize a recorded DVD-R disc on this DVD video camera/recorder so that you can play it back on a DVD player or DVD recorder that is compatible with 8 cm DVD-R disc (however, the finalized DVD-R disc may not be usable on some DVD players). Recording Movie and Still The DVD video camera/recorder can record movies of events and sports, in the same way as with conventional camcorders. It can also record stills on a DVD-RAM disc, as with a digital still camera. With CCD of 1,100,000 pixels (680,000 pixels for DZ-MV200A), high-quality movies and stills (on DVD-RAM disc only) can be recorded. In both recordings of movie and still (on DVD-RAM disc only), zooming up to 240 times is possible using the 12 power optical zoom multiplied by the 20 power digital zoom. Movies and stills can be recorded on the same disc, by simply switching the recording mode (power switch). However, if you use a DVD-R disc, a still image cannot be recorded. (If the DVD video camera/recorder is connected to PC, the DVD video camera/ recorder can capture still images, such as JPEG data.) Immediate Reviewing of Recorded Image You can check the movie or still recorded in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen. Editing in Various Ways on DVD video camera/recorder Alone This DVD video camera/recorder is provided with a useful editing/playback tool. Disc Navigation allows you to easily attach a title or special video effect to the recorded movie or still. With Disc Navigation, you can arrange the playback order and edit multiple images to play them back continuously. You can create an entire movie on this DVD video camera/recorder alone, without inputting video to a PC for editing. Using with Various Devices Connect this DVD video camera/recorder to your TV and you can enjoy the playback picture with your family and friends on the large TV screen; or connect it to a video printer (generally available) to print the recorded image. You can also transfer recorded movies and stills (for DVD-RAM disc only) to PC, using the optional PC kit (DZWINPC3(W)). English 18
