Preventing data on the
internal memory from
being recovered
[ EMPTY] allows you to write
unintelligible data onto the internal
memory of the camcorder. In this way,
it may become more difficult to recover
any original data. When you dispose of or
transfer the camcorder, it is recommended
that you perform [ EMPTY].
Notes

deleted. To avoid the loss of important images,
they should be saved (p. 50, see Operating
Guide too) before performing [ EMPTY].
You cannot perform [ EMPTY] unless you
connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall
socket).
Disconnect all cables except the AC Adaptor.
Do not disconnect the AC Adaptor during the
operation.
While performing [ EMPTY], do not apply
any vibrations or shocks to your camcorder.
