Preparing Recording Media
Initializing the Recording Media
The first time you use any recording media with this camcorder, initialize it
first. You can also initialize a recording media to permanently delete all the
data it contains.
When initializing an SD card, you can select quick initialization, which
clears the file allocation table but does not physically erase the stored
data, or complete initialization, which deletes all data completely.
1 Open the [Initialize Media] submenu.
