Although still images are recorded on DVD RAM disc only in the FINE n-lode, the quality mode can be chosen when recording stills on card. (p. 94)
The file size of a photo recorded on DVD RAM disc in "t"l" status is equal to or larger than that recorded on card using the FINE quality in "[1_".
* JPEG: Joint Photographic Experts Group.
JPEG is one of the photo image compression standards. It is widely used in digital still cameras since
JPEG files can be used on ordinary PC. When this DVD video camera/recorder records on DVD
RAM disc in "t"l" status, a JPEG photo will be recorded, along with a photo that conf_rms to the
DVD video recording (DVD VR) format which is used to be output to TV (see "Terminology", p. 155). Only JPEG photos will be recorded on SD memory card.
Note:
• No stitl can be recorded on DVD-R disc.
• Since the file size is restricted in ail quality modes when recording photos on card ({g_]),the quality of photos on card may be inferior to those recorded on DVD-RAM disc (1"1).

EFFICIENT USE OF BATTERY
Charge battery
immediately
before using
DVD video cameralrecorder:
The battery will slightly disrharge even ifit is detached fl'om the DVD video camera/recordei_
If the battery is left attached to DVD video camera/recorder, it will consume a slight amot/nt
Therefore, of povv'et\ it is recommended that you charge the battery shortly befbre using the DVD video camera/recorder, usually on the day befbre you plan to use it.
However, since the battery used for this DVD video camera/recorder is fi'ee fl'om the memory eft)ct, you do not need to completely discharge the battery bef}0re charging it.
When not using the DVD video camera/
recorder for an extended
period:
It is rerommended that you fiflly rharge the battery once a year, attach it to DVD video camera/recorder and use it tq); then remove the battery and store it in a cool place again.
Battery life:
The battery life varies greatly depending ambient environment and how ofien on the the DVD video camera/recorder is used.
If the usable time of DVD video camera/recorder with a fiflly charged battery is noticeably short, the battery is probably dead: Purchase a new one.
Power save and discharge
of battery:
It is recommended that you turn the DVD video camera/recorder of'[ in status other than recording, since even during recording pause battery power is consumed at the same level as during recording.
If_ when you specify Power Save On, the recording pause status continues for approximately 5 minutes, the DVD video camera/recorder will automatically turn off
To set or release power save. see "TURNING
