Initializing the Built-in Memory
External noise and interference (from a TV, a radio,
etc.) might prevent your camcorder from functioning

may need to initialize the memory. This will erase all
the images (including protected images).

stored in memory, you need to transfer them to a PC
and save them first before initializing the memory. If
image data is corrupt, transfer is impossible.
