Recording Movie
1
Remove the lens cap, and then point the DVD
video camera/recorder at subject.

Turn the DVD camera/recorder on.
Set the power switch to “HDD” or “DVD” to
turn the DVD video camera/recorder on.
After the ACCESS/PC indicator goes out,
perform the subsequent operation:
3
Check the subject on the screen (viewfinder
or LCD).
When using the viewfinder, close the LCD
monitor before pulling out the viewfinder.

The “

During recording, the recording indicator on
the front of DVD video camera/recorder will
light.
Pressing REC again during recording will set
the DVD video camera/recorder to the

Note
:
•
See “Troubleshooting” on page 145 when recording
movie is not possible.
•
See “Troubleshooting” on page 145 if it takes some
time before recording is possible.
•
See “Troubleshooting” on page 145 if the DVD video
camera/recorder does not operate.
•
See page 45 for on-screen information display.
•
It is recommended that you set the LOCK switch to
(the upper position) to prevent the power switch in the
“HDD” position from accidentally moving to “DVD”
position.
•
When using a DVD-RW (VF-mode)/DVD-R/+RW,
videos of different qualities (VIDEO Modes) or 16:9
On and Off cannot be recorded or dubbed on the
same disc (see page 82).
•
While the ACCESS/PC indicator is lit or blinking, do
not turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, and take
care not to subject it to any vibration: Doing so could
cause an error in the recorded data, which could
make it unplayable (see page 7).
•
The minimum recordable time of movie is
approximately 3 seconds.
•
Hitachi cannot be responsible for video and audio that
cannot be recorded or edited because of any defect.
•
Each time the DVD video camera/recorder enters the
recording pause status, the counter display will be
reset to “0:00:00”.
•
If, when using a +RW, one-time recording duration is
short or you frequently switch the video quality,
recording may not be possible even when the disc
has remaining space.
Before You Begin
•
When setting the power switch to “DVD”, insert a recordable DVD-RAM/DVD-
RW/DVD-R/+RW into this DVD video camera/recorder.
