DVDs

You have probably heard of DVD discs and they come in various types and in two

the more common 12 cm DVDs and 8 cm Mini DVDs. This camcorder uses commercially

available 8 cm DVD-R or DVD-RW discs.

You cannot edit or delete the

recordings.

DVD-RW

You can record on it many times.

You can delete scenes or initialize the

disc and start recording again.

disc... What disc

standard do I choose

to initialize it?

in VIDEO mode will play in most

common DVD players. However,

you cannot edit the recordings.
