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 to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.
At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-initialized and contains music files for use as
background music and images for use with the image mix function (image mix frames).
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.
2 Open the initialization screen for the desired memory.
