Finalizing the Disc
To play the disc you recorded on a DVD
player, a computer’s DVD drive or other
digital device,
you need to finalize it
first
.
1
Power the camcorder using the
compact power adapter or a fully
charged battery pack.
2
Set the camcorder to
mode.
The green PLAY indicator will turn on.
3
Start the disc's finalization.
[
MENU]
[
DISC OPERATIONS]
[FINALIZE]
[YES]
• A progress bar and the time
remaining will be displayed on the
screen.
• Selecting [
MENU] is only
necessary when using a DVD-RW
recorded in VR mode. Otherwise,
pressing
will open the menu
directly on the setup menus screen.
4
When the process is completed
([OK] appears), press
and wait
until the [
DISC OPERATIONS]
menu is displayed again.
Depending on the number of scenes,
this may take a moment.
5
Press
to close the menu.
During playback and in
mode, the
icon will indicate that
the disc is finalized.
IMPORTANT
•
Be sure to finalize the disc in normal
room temperatures. If the procedure
was not completed correctly due to
high temperature, let the camcorder
cool off before resuming operation.
•
Place the camcorder on a table or
other stable surface before starting
the procedure. Subjecting the
camcorder even to slight impacts (for
example to place it on a table or to
disconnect a cable) after the
finalization process started may result
in permanent data loss.
• Do not disconnect the power source
while the operation is in progress. Doing
so can interrupt the process and result in
permanent data loss.
• Depending on the type of disc and the
disc specification, after finalizing the disc
you may not be able to initialize the disc,
edit your recordings or add new
recordings to the disc. Refer to the table
on page 48.
• Do not use this camcorder to finalize
discs that were not recorded with it.
NOTES
The time required to finalize the disc
depends on the scenes recorded and the
remaining free space on the disc.
