What kind of tapes do I need?
This camera uses Mini DV tapes. No tapes are included with the camera rental. You can buy them at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc. Most Mini DV tapes hold 60 minutes of footage in short-play mode and 90 minutes of footage in long-play mode.
How do I capture and edit the footage from this camera?
This camera records to mini DV tapes. (Tapes are not included with your rental. Buy them at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc.) After recording the footage, connect the camera via the included FireWire cable to your computer. (You will need a FireWire port on your computer.) Then use capturing software on your computer to transfer the footage from the camera over the FireWire cable and save it to a video file on your computer. You can use Windows Movie Maker or other free capturing software, or paid software such as Apple's Final Cut Pro. Once the footage is captured, use one of those same programs to edit your footage and make your movie!
Can this camera record in 16:9 widescreen format?
Yes, there is a setting in the Camera Setup menu to do that.
