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.
Taking beautiful shots easily
No rewinding to start recording (p.29, 32)
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.

b Notes

Still images can be recorded only on "Memory Stick Duo."
You can find a scene quickly using a VISUAL INDEX screen (p.30, 37)
The VISUAL INDEX screen allows you to check recorded 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.
Records widescreen format and 5.1ch surround sound (p.34, 35)
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.
Some models may not support wide screen and 5.1 ch surround recording.
* DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is a high-capacity optical disc.
A recorded disc can be played back on a variety of devices

Maintenance and precautions

About the Disc

See page 12 for the details of discs which you can use with your camcorder.

symbol

Hold the disc by its edge while supporting the center hole lightly. Do not touch the recording side (the opposite of the printed side when using a single-sided disc).
Before shooting, be sure to remove dust and fingerprints from the disc with a soft cloth. Otherwise you may not be able to record or play normally in some situations using that disc. When you set the disc in your camcorder, press firmly until it clicks. When the message [C:13:ss] appears on the LCD screen, open the disc cover and set the disc again. Do not attach any adhesive material such as a sticker on the surface of a disc. If you do so, the disc may become unbalanced, and this may cause a malfunction of the disc or your camcorder.

Place the symbol facing outwards. Recording is made on the rear side.
Use of double-sided discs
Double-sided discs allow you to record both sides of a disc. x Recording on the A side Place the disc in your camcorder with the side with the symbol at the center facing outwards until it clicks.
When using a double-sided disc, take care not to smudge the surface with fingerprints. When a double-sided disc is used in your camcorder, recording/playback are performed on that side only. You cannot switch to record on or play back the other side with the disc set to the camcorder. When recording/playback of one side is complete, remove the disc and turn it over to access the other side. Perform the following operations on each side of a double-sided disc:
Finalizing (p. 42) Unfinalizing (p. 58) Formatting (p. 57)
Care and storage of the discs
Keep the disc clean, or the image quality of the audio and video output may deteriorate. Clean the disc with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. For dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened in water, then remove the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine, cleaners intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic spray, as they may cause a malfunction to the disc.

About the Memory Stick

A "Memory Stick" is a compact, portable IC recording medium with a large data capacity. You can use only a "Memory Stick Duo," which is about the half size of a standard "Memory Stick," with your camcorder. However, we do not guarantee the operation of all types of "Memory Stick Duo" on your camcorder.
Types of Memory Stick Recording/ Playback
Memory Stick (without MagicGate) Memory Stick Duo*1 (without MagicGate) MagicGate Memory Stick

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or leave it in a humid place. When you carry or store the disc, put it in its case. When you want to write letters or marks, etc. on a single-sided disc, write only on the printed side using an oil-based marker with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a sharp-pointed tool, such as ball point pen. Do not dry the surface by heating. You cannot write, or mark, on double-sided discs.

*1 A Memory Stick Duo is about half the size of a standard Memory Stick. *2 The types of Memory Stick that support high speed data transfer. The speed of data transfer varies depending on the device to be used. *3 MagicGate is a copyright protection technology that records and transfers the contents in an encrypted format. Note that data that uses MagicGate technology cannot be recorded or played on your camcorder. Still image format: Your camcorder compresses and records image data in the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. The file extension is.JPG. File names of still images: 101- 0001: This file name appears on the screen of your camcorder. DSC00001.JPG: This file name appears on the display of a computer. A Memory Stick Duo formatted by a computer (Windows OS/Mac OS) does not have guaranteed compatibility with your camcorder. Continued ,
