1
Touch this option if you want to physically erase all the data rather than just
clear the file allocation table of the hard drive. For large-capacity hard drives this
operation can take several hours.
2
If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel]
>
[OK] to cancel the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will be
erased and the hard drive can be used without any problem.
5 Safely end the connection to the external hard drive before
physically disconnecting it.
IMPORTANT
• Initializing the external hard drive will permanently erase all the
data on the hard drive (including your recordings, previous data
not saved with the camcorder, and partitioned drives). Make sure
to copy in advance important data to a computer or other device.
Copying Recordings to an External Video Recorder
Operating modes:
In High Definition
Connect the camcorder to Blu-ray Disc recorders and other AVCHD-
compatible digital video recorders using the supplied USB cable to
make perfect copies of your movies in high definition. If the external
digital video recorder has an SD memory card slot*, you can use the
memory card to copy your movies without connecting the camcorder.
* Make sure the external device is compatible with the type of memory card used.
