Formatting a Card
Available mode:
CARD-CAMERA
In order to use a commercially available card
with this camcorder, formatting is necessary
before its first use. You also need to format a
card when one of the following warning
indicators appears, in order to use the card
with the camcorder.
• “FORMAT MEMORY CARD”
• “MEMORY CARD ERROR”
• “MEMORY CARD READ ERROR”
• “CANNOT STORE DATA”
Cautions:
•
Formatting a card deletes all images on the
card including the delete-protected images.
Be sure to copy important data on your
computer or other media before formatting the
card. (See pages 70, 71 and 84 to transfer data
on a card to a computer.)
• Do not remove the power source during
formatting, as this may cause damage to the
camcorder or card. It is recommended that you
use the AC outlet for the power supply.
