Formatting the SD/MMC Card*
Before you insert an SD/MMC card into your DV camera
for the first time, you will need to format the SD/MMC
card with the DV camera. In most cases, the newly
purchased SD/MMC card can be directly used for
storing images. To prevent possible malfunction, it is
best to format the SD/MMC card before you shoot.
In addition, you can use the format function to erase all
previous files stored in the DV camera’s internal
memory or in the SD/MMC card.
To format the SD/MMC card:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Press to select the Setup
( )
menu option at the top.
3. Use the / button to select “ ”
– Format, then press the
button.
A Format screen displays on the
LCD screen, allowing you to
format the installed SD/MMC card
or to cancel.
4. Use the / button to select “OK”, then press the
OK button.
The SD/MMC card will begin formatting. When
formatting is completed, the LCD screen returns to the
Setup menu screen.
5. Press the MENU button to exit the menu.
NOTE:
• The format function removes all files from the DV
camera’s internal memory or SD/MMC card permanently.
Before you perform the format operation, ensure that you
have saved all desired images and video/audio clips from
the DV camera.
• A “MEMORY FULL” message appears on the LCD screen if
the internal memory or the SD/MMC card is full.
To resolve --
- Connect the DV camera to your computer, then
transfer the stored files from the DV camera's internal
memory or the SD/MMC card to the computer.
- Remove all the files in the SD/MMC card or the DV
camera’s internal memory, or use a new SD/MMC card.
Individual images can also be deleted to free up
memory.
• Improper use of the SD/MMC card may damage its stored
files. For better storage, transfer the files from your SD/
MMC card to your computer, and back up the files to a
hard disk or CD-ROM.
