3.2 Formatting the Memory Card
Before formatting your memory card, always remember to make backup
copies of all important data stored on the device.
The manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.
For best results, format the memory card using the Format function on
your camera.
It’s recommended that you format your memory card after transferring
files to your computer or at least once a month. Using your camera to
format a memory card:
a. Upon turning on the camera, press the
REC
button to stop recording.
b. Press the
MENU
button twice to enter the Setup Menu.
c. Use the
REC
and
MIC
navigation buttons to navigate to the “Format”
option.
d. Press
OK
to confirm your selection.
e. You will be notified that all data will be deleted. Scroll down to “OK” and
press the
OK
button to confirm.
f. If you followed the instructions above, you should see a blue box asking
you to please wait while the card is being formatted. Formatting should only
take a moment, and you will be taken back to the Setup Menu once
formatting is complete.
g. At this point, disconnect from the power source. The camera will shut down
automatically after 3 seconds. The next time the camera is connected to
power, the camera should start up and begin recording automatically.
