z Hint
• The DVDirect stores the recording history of a camera 
(built-in memory), or a memory card, copying only 
newly-recorded video (to be recorded to a disc). The 
DVDirect can store a combined total of 10 recording 
history stored in a camera or memory card.
Notes on using a memory card
When copying from a memory card that has been 
shared between cameras, make sure that the clock 
on each camera is set correctly. If the clock 
setting is not correct, copying only new video/
photo may not be performed as desired.
When recording HD (High 
Definition) videos, 
[AVCHD] appears in the 
display window.
