JPEG is one of the photo image compression
standards. It is widely used in digital still cameras
since JPEG files can be used on ordinary PC. When
this DVD video camera/recorder records on
DVD-RAM disc in "N PHOTO" status, a JPEG
photo will be recorded, along with a photo that
conforms to the DVD video recording (DVD-VR)
format which is used to be output to TV
(see "Terminology", P. 163). Only JPEG photos
will be recorded on SD memory card.
