Hitachi dzmv238eau User Manual

You can use both 8 cm DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs
on this DVD video camera/recorder for recording.
The recorded video and audio will be stored on an
8 cm DVD-RAM disc or 8 cm DVD-R disc.
Using disc allows you to record without
overwriting previous recordings, 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.

In addition, simply loading a DVD-RAM disc into a
PC equipped with DVD-RAM drive and DVD video
recording software compatible with 8 cm DVD-RAM
allows you to easily view the recorded disc.
You can finalise a recorded DVD-R disc on this
DVD video camera/recorder so that you can play
it back on a DVD player or DVD recorder that is
compatible with 8 cm DVD-R disc (however, the
finalised DVD-R disc may not be usable on some
DVD players).

The DVD video camera/recorder can record mov-
ies of events and sports, in the same way as with
conventional camcorders.
It can also record stills on a DVD-RAM disc, as with
a digital still camera. With CCD of 1,160,000 pixels
(800,000 pixels for DZ-MV208E(AU) and DZ-
MV200E(UK)), high-quality movies and stills (on
DVD-RAM disc only) can be recorded. In both
recordings of movie and still (on DVD-RAM disc

only), zooming up to 240 times is possible using
the 12 power optical zoom multiplied by the 20
power digital zoom. 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 cap-
ture still images, such as JPEG data.)

You can check the movie or still recorded in the
viewfinder or on the LCD screen.

This DVD video camera/recorder is provided with
a useful editing/playback tool. Disc Navigation
allows you to easily attach a title or special video
effect to the recorded movie or still. With Disc Navi-
gation, you can arrange the playback order and edit

multiple images to play them back continuously.
You can create an entire movie on this DVD video
camera/recorder alone, without inputting video to
a PC for editing.

Connect this DVD video camera/recorder to your
TV and you can enjoy the playback picture with
your family and friends on the large TV screen; or
connect it to a video printer (generally available)

to print the recorded image. You can also transfer
recorded movies and stills (for DVD-RAM disc
only) to PC, using the optional PC kit (DZ-
WINPC3(W)).
