*1: The DVD video recording format defi nes the maximum number of entry points as 999: Since one entry
point is allocated to one scene, the maximum number of scenes recordable on DVD/HDD with the DVD
video camera/recorder is 999.
*2: If recording is continued without editing, one scene will comprise one cell for each entry point.
When scenes are combined, only the number of entry points will decrease (only the entry point is deleted);
the number of cells will not decrease. Assume, for example, that the number of cells before
scenes are combined is 999, which is the upper limit defi ned by the DVD video recording format. If a
scene comprising one cell is divided at two points and the scene between the divided scenes needs to be
deleted, the cell must be further divided in order to delete. However, since the number of cells has reached
the upper limit in this case, the cell cannot be divided and the scene cannot be deleted.
*3: Take care with the following when repairing video fi le:
a) If any message appears when the power switch was moved from "OFF" to "Movie" or "Disc Still" with
the disc left loaded after camera recording, choose repair.
b) If recording and playback are possible with another disc, which is free from condensation or dirt, choose
repair.
c) The HDD can be repaired when a battery is connected (except when the remaining level indicator
blinks), but be sure to connect the AC adapter/charger when repairing DVD. The specifi cations state
that DVD cannot be repaired when the DVD video camera/recorder is powered by a battery.
d) Although repair is normally fi nished in several minutes, it could take approx. one hour.
e) If the disc is removed while it is being recognized, the repair function of movie fi le will be invalid.
f) If the timing when power is turned off is inappropriate, normal repair may be impossible.
g) If the disc contains data recorded on a device other than DZ-HS303A/HS300A, normal repair may not
be possible.
h) The repaired data may be different from the original recorded content because of partial deletion of a
defective portion.
i) The repaired data (only corrected portion in case of partial repair) will lose the original date/time
information because the information for date/time when repair was executed will be added.
j) If "all repair" is executed, repair will be made in the order of all videos and all photos, and the time-
sequential relationship of recorded contents may be lost.
