Selecting the Memory for the Recordings
You can select to record your movies and photos in the built-in mem-
ory or on a memory card. The built-in memory is the default memory
for recording both.
POINTS TO CHECK
• Be sure you understand the information provided in
Eye-Fi cards
(
33) before using an Eye-Fi card.
* When selecting the memory, you can check the total, used and approximate
available recording time/number of photos. (Recording time is estimated based
on the recording mode currently in use.)
Initializing the Memory
Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for
the first time. You can also initialize a memory card or the built-in
memory (
only) to permanently delete all the recordings it con-
tains.
At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-initial-
ized and contains music files for use as background music during
playback.
1 Power the camcorder using the compact power adapter.
Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until
the initialization is completed.
