What You Can Do With Your Camcorder - Sony Handycam DCR-DVD408 Operating Manual

What you can do with your camcorder
Your camcorder records image data on 8cm DVD*.
It is more convenient than video tape and far more versatile.
No rewinding to start recording (p.31, 34)
Recorded images are stored in empty areas on the
disc so there is no risk that valuable recordings are
accidentally overwritten.
Since no rewinding is necessary prior to recording,
you can start shooting any time you desire.
U
Notes
• Still images can be recorded only on "Memory Stick
Duo."
You can find a scene quickly using a VISUAL
INDEX SCreen (p.32, 41)
The VISUAL INDEX screen allows you to check
recorded contents at a glance. All you have to do is
touch the scene you want to view.
The disc does not wear out no matter how many
times you play it back. The precious moments you
have captured on disc last for
a
long time.
12
Records widescreen format and 5.1 ch surround
sound (p.36, 38)
You can record high quality widescreen images on a wide
LCD screen that shows the same 16:9 angle of view as a
wide TV. Realistic 5.1ch surround sound can also be
directly recorded onto the disc.
* DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a high-capacity optical disc.
