IMPORTANT
•While the camcorder is connected to the DVD burner, do not open the
memory card slot cover and do not remove the memory card.
•Observe the following precautions while the ACCESS indicator on the
camcorder is on or flashing. Failing to do so may result in permanent
data loss.
- Do not open the memory card slot cover.
-Do not disconnect the USB cable.
-Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder or the
DVD burner.
- AVCHD discs created using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner can be
played back only with AVCHD-compatible DVD players or Blu-ray Disc
players. Do not insert an AVCHD disc into a DVD player that is not
compatible with AVCHD specifications as you may not be able to eject
the disc.
• For important information on handling your discs, refer to
Cautions on handling .
NOTES
•If a scene does not fit entirely in one disc, it may be divided and con-
tinue on the next disc.
• When the camcorder contains a large number of scenes to be saved on
discs, it may take a long time for the connection to the DVD burner
(step 2 above) to be completed. For best performance, we recommend
limiting the number of scenes to be saved to 500 or fewer scenes. (With
500 scenes, it will take approximately 3 minutes to complete the con-
nection.)
• In addition to the JPG image files, Photo DVDs contain a slideshow of
all the photos saved (each played back for approximately 3 seconds).
// Saving Movies onto Standard-Definition Discs
(DVD)
You can convert your high-definition video recordings into standard
definition and save them onto standard DVDs. These are ideal for shar-
ing your videos with family and friends since, unlike AVCHD or Blu-ray
discs, standard DVDs can be played back on most DVD players and
computer DVD drives.
