Information on DVD-R Disc
You cannot record a still on DVD-R disc, or delete
any recorded images or data.
For optimum recording on DVD-R disc, this DVD
Video Camera writes control data to the disc in
order to automatically make adjustments when it is
inserted and ejected accompanying recording. If
the disc has no area for control date to be written,
recording may not be possible. To prevent this, do
not insert a DVD-R disc accompanying recording
more than 50 times. The DVD Video Camera will not
perform “write adjustment” unless recording is
made. In most cases, “write adjustment” will not be
performed when the DVD Video Camera is turned
on, from off, with the disc in it, or when the disc is
removed and then reinserted.
