Formatting (Initializing) SD Cards
SD cards must be formatted the first time they are
used in the camcorder.
SD cards for use in the camcorder should be
formatted using the format function of the
camcorder. If a message appears when the SD card
is inserted into the camcorder, format the SD card.
1
Select Operation >Format Media >SD Card
(Utility) in the setup menu.
A confirmation screen prompting whether to
format the card appears.
2
Turn the MENU knob to select [Execute], then
press the knob.
Formatting begins.
During formatting, a message is displayed, and
the ACCESS indicator is lit orange.
When formatting ends, a completion message
appears. Press the MENU knob to dismiss the
message.
[Note]
Formatting an SD card erases all data on the card. The card
cannot be restored.
Checking the Remaining Capacity
You can check the remaining capacity on an SD
card on the Media Status screen (page 14).
To use an SD card formatted on the camcorder in
the slot of another device, make a backup of the
card, then reformat the card in the device to be
used.
