No need to worry about recording over a tape.
When you use a DVD, the camcorder will automatically record on the empty
space of the disc. So you don't have to worry about mistakenly recording over a
precious memory.

You don't need to bother running a tape forwards and backwards to find the
scene you want to play back. Simply select a scene from the index screen and
start the playback in a breeze.

After your finalize your DVD (

your recordings with friends and family.
Playback on external devices
Make sure to finalize discs (
45) before you play them back on external
DVD devices. The disc's type will affect its compatibility with external devices.
For a summary, you can refer to the sidebar on page 46. However, to be sure,
always refer to the instruction manual of the external device and make sure it
is compatible before inserting the disc.
For the highest compatibility with external DVD devices we recommend
using VIDEO mode.
