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 contains.
/
At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-
initialized and contains music files for use as background music during
playback. It also contains images used for the image mix function.
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 Initialize the memory.
/
1
Only when performing the procedure in
mode.
2
Touch this option if you want to physically erase all the data rather than just clear
the file allocation table of the memory.
3
If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel] to cancel
the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will be erased and the memory
can be used without any problem.
