3-2 Recording

You need not return the screw to its original position after 
taking out the disc. Turning on the power makes the disc 
compartment mechanism operable again.

An unused disc requires no formatting operation. The disc 
is automatically formatted so that it is ready to use when 
loaded into this unit.

You can use a disc containing recorded material as is, but 
if necessary you can delete individual clips or the whole 
content.

For details, see 3-2-2 “Deleting Clips” on page 51.

It is not possible to mix different recording formats on a 
single disc. Either select the same format as the existing 
recording, or use a different disc.

For details of the recording format settings, see 5-1-1 
“Setting the Video Recording Format” on page 59 and see 
5-1-2 “Setting the Audio Recording Format” on page 60.

This section describes the basic procedures for shooting 
and recording.
Before a shooting session, ensure that the camcorder is 
functioning properly.

With the PDW-530/530P you can select the recording 
formats for each of video and audio.
Note that it is not possible to use different recording 
formats on a single disc.
Set the recording format before beginning recording.

For details of the setting operations, see 5-1-1 “Setting the 
Video Recording Format” on page 59 and see 5-1-2 
“Setting the Audio Recording Format” on page 60.
