The movie quality setting will be stored in memory even

The “VIDEO Mode” setting will not change even if the 
DVD-RAM disc is replaced with a DVD-R disc, or vice 
versa. However, the setting will switch to “FINE” in the 
following cases:
- When the mode is set to “XTRA” with a DVD-RAM disc 

inserted and then the disc is replaced with a DVD-R 
disc

- When the mode is set to “LPCM” with a DVD-R disc 

inserted and the disc is replaced with a DVD-RAM disc

When using DVD-R disc, you cannot switch the movie 
quality while recording on the disc: The DVD Video 
Camera will be automatically set to the movie quality first 
used with the disc for recording.

The movie quality setting is effective only during movie 
recording: The setting will not be displayed during 
recording of stills.

Block-like noise may appear in recorded image, or the outline of subject image is distorted under the recording 
conditions listed below: Pan the DVD Video Camera as slowly as possible. (Block noise is likely to appear in “STD” 
mode):

• If there is a complicated pattern in the background (as in figure on botton left)
• If the DVD Video Camera is moved excessively or quickly
• If subject is moving rapidly even when the DVD Video Camera is not moving
