English
Y ou ca nnot record a still on DVD-R di s c, or delet e
any recorded images or data.
For optimum r e cording on DVD-R disc , t h is D VD
video camera/recorder writes control data to the
disc in order to automatically make a djustments
when it is inserted and ejected accompanying
recording. If the disc has no area to be written for
adjustment, recording may not be possible. To
prevent this, do not insert or eject a DVD-R disc
accompanying recording more than 50 times. The
DVD video camera/recorder will not perform
“write adjustment” when the DVD video camera/
recorder is turned on again, from off, for recording
with the disc in it, or when no reco rding is made,
even if the disc is removed and then reinserted.
●Finalizing DVD-R disc
Before using the 8 cm DVD-R disc provided on this
DVD video camera/recorder on a DVD player or
DVD video recorder that is c o m p at ib le with 8 cm

video camera/recorde r. For the finalizing
procedure of 8 cm DVD-R disc, refer to “Finalizing
DVD-R Disc” (P. 127).
Note:
• Do not insert a DVD-R disc recorded on this DVD video
camera/recorder but not finalized, into a recordable
device, such as a DVD video recorder: The recorded data
may be damaged.
• DVD-R discs edited and finalized on PC or those finalized
on another DVD video recorder may not be playable on
this DVD video camera/recorder, depending on the
editing software used or recorded status of DVD-R disc.

DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs are very delic a t e
recording media. Carefully read the following
cautions and observe them:
• When using disc on this DVD video camera/
recorder , be sure to keep it in Round DV D Holder.
• Always use a brand new disc when recording
important material.
• Be sure n ot to touch the disc
exposed portion, and be
careful that no dirt adheres to
it.

Even if disc is normal, the
above phenomena may
occasionally occur. While the ACCESS/PC
indicator is lit, do n ot subject disc to vibrations or
impact, and avoid using DVD video camera/
recorder at extremely high or low temperatur es,
or in environment where condensation is likely
to occur.
• When reco rding images ,
the DVD video camera/
record er may avoid t he
portions of disc where
recording is not possible ,
due to dust, scratches, etc.
[It will pause

).]
This will cause recording
to be interrupted for sev e ral seconds to several
minutes, and multiple thumbnails will be created
by one recording session as shown above. In this
case, the recordable time on disc will decrease.
• Be careful when removing the disc since the
metal of removal slot of DVD video camera/

on this DVD vide o camera/r ecord er for rec ording.
The recorded v ideo and audio will be stor ed on an
8 cm DVD-RAM disc or 8 cm DVD-R disc.
Using disc allows you to record without
overwriting previo us reco rding s, 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.
English
In addition, simply loading a DVD-RAM disc into
a PC equipped with DVD-RAM drive and DVD
vide o recording so ftware compatible with 8 cm
DVD-RAM allows you to easily view the r ecorded

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 or card,
as with a digital still camera. With CCD of 800,000
pixels (DZ-MV350E), 1,020,000 pixels (DZMV380E), high-quality movies and stills (on DVDRAM disc only) can be recorded. When recording
movies, subject images can be zoomed up to 240
times; when re cord ing stil ls, subj ect image s can be
zoomed up to 40 times. 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, suc h as JPEG data.)

BATTERY REMAINING LEVEL INDICATOR
English
When the battery is used to power the DVD video camera/r ecorder, the battery r emaining level appears
in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen as follows:
Fully charged Nearly empty
(Blinks)
White portion shows remaining level
Note:
The remaining level indicator “” may be displayed for an extended period, and “” or “” may be displayed for
a shorter period.
EFFICIENT USE OF BATTERY
Charge battery immediately before using DVD
video camera/recorder:
The battery will slig htly discharge even if it is
detached from the DVD video camera/r ecorder . If
the battery is left attached to DVD video camera/
recorder, it will consume a slight amount of power.
Therefore, it is recommended that you charge the
battery shortly before using the DVD video
camera/recorder, usually on the day before you
plan to use it.
However , since the battery used for this DVD video
camera/recorder is free from the memory effect,
you do not need to completely discharge the
battery before charging it.
When not using the DVD video camera/recorder
for an extended period:
It is recommended that you fully charge the batter y
once a year, attach it to DVD video camera/
recorder and use it up; th en remove the battery and
store it in a cool place aga in .
Store in cool, dark place:
When you a r e not using t he DVD video camera/
recorder, remove the battery and store it in a c ool,
dark place. If you store it in a place where the
temperature is high, the battery life will be
shortened. Be especially sure not to store the
battery in an environment (in a clos ed vehicle) over
60°C: Neglecting this could damage the battery.
Battery life:
The battery life varies greatly depending on the
ambient environment and how often the DVD
video camera/recor der is used. If the usable time of
DVD video camera/recorder with a fully charged
battery is noticeabl y s ho r t, the battery is probabl y
dead: Purchase a new one.
Power save and discharge of battery:
It is recommended that you turn the DVD video
camera/recorder off in status other than recording,
since even during recor ding pause battery power is
consumed at the same level as during recording.
If, when you specify Power Save On, the recording
pause status continue s for approxi mately 5
minutes, the DVD video camera/recorder will
automatically turn off.
To set or release power save , se e “Turning DVD
Video Camera/Recorder Off Automatically
(Power Save)” on page 90.
