Problems with Samsung VP-D381i DV camera

I have used disk video recorders. A relative of mine stayed in Japan for several years, and what he brought back seemed to be a Panasonic tape-type DV.

Let me answer your questions in order:

1. DV tapes can theoretically record 180 minutes at the highest image quality of your machine, 720 x 576. But the photos produced by this digital camera also depend on the content you record. Some scenes are larger and some scenes are smaller. It's also the same as the encoding method of your machine. For home use, it is only used a few times a month, and DV is not a commonly used digital device. I can tell you clearly that the capacity is definitely enough.

2. Earlier, DV did not have USB. They all used the 1394 FireWire interface developed by Apple. In theory, 1394 is faster than USB. There is this 1394 interface on my Thingpad t61.

Supplement: Videos and videos can be transferred to the computer through the 1394 interface. Just perform a "rewind" operation on the DV. Just like a tape recorder, if you need to transfer it to a computer, you can replay it from beginning to end at high speed.

(There is no serial number 3 in your question, so I skipped it~~)

4. This machine cannot use storage media such as SD cards except tapes.

5. In theory, it can record dynamic scenes continuously for about 80 minutes. How long it can be used depends on how you use it. Just like a digital camera, if you zoom frequently and keep the LCD on, it will consume more power. 80 minutes is enough. When using DV to record, you don’t have to hold your head up all the time to record. You can record when you see a good scene like a camera. You can meet your needs through post-production adjustments on the computer.

(Another question 5, I will repeat it.)

5. This machine cannot take pictures.

6. When you get the machine in hand, you can see how to pour it into the computer. It's not difficult. Just connect the DV to the computer using the 1394 cable and press the rewind button on the DV.

7. No photography allowed.

I hope you can adopt my answer~~
