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. You do not need to finalize the disc to play back your recordings with the camcorder connected to the TV.

To view your still images on a DVD player you will need to convert them to Photomovie scenes beforehand ( 57).

IMPORTANT

Always power the camcorder using the compact power adapter. The operation cannot be started if the camcorder is powered only with the battery pack.

Avoid the following actions while the operation is in progress. Failing to do so can interrupt the process and result in permanent data loss.

-Do not move the camcorder.

-Do not disconnect the compact power adapter.

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.

Do not finalize with this camcorder discs that were not recorded using it.

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 the AV cable) after the finalization process started may result in permanent data loss.

Restrictions after Disc Finalization

NOTES

The time required to complete the operation will vary depending on the recording conditions and the remaining free space on the disc.
