Features of DVD Camera/recorder

Recording on DVD-RAM Disc
This DVD camera/recorder uses a DVD-RAM disc, the first in the world. The video
and audio are stored on an 8 cm DVD-RAM disc that is capable of holding approxi-
mately 2.8 GB data using both sides.
Using the DVD-RAM disc allows you to record without overwriting previous record-
ings, and to store your valuable recordings for as long as need be while retaining
clarity. With the DVD-RAM disc you can immediately access recording and playback,
in contrast to videotape that must be fast forwarded and rewound.
In addition, simply loading a disc into a PC, equipped with DVD-RAM drive and soft-
ware compatible with 8 cm DVD-RAM, allows you to easily view the recorded image.
Recording Movie and Still
The DVD camera/recorder can record movies of events and sports, in the same
way as with conventional camera/recorders. The DVD camera/recorder can also
record stills as with a digital still camera. With the 1,160,000 pixel CCD, high-qual-
ity movies and stills can be recorded. In both recordings of movie and still, zooming
up to 48 times is possible using the 12 times optical zoom multiplied by the 4 times
digital zoom. Movies and stills can be recorded on the same disc, by simply switch-
ing the recording mode.
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 Camera/recorder Alone
This DVD 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 a simple movie on
this DVD camera/recorder alone, without inputting video to a PC for editing.
