Using a Memory Card

Double Slot Recording

Double slot recording allows you to record the same scene simultaneously to both memory cards. This is a convenient way to make a backup copy of your recording while you record.

Operating modes:

1 Insert memory cards into memory card slot 2and memory card slot 3.

362 Open the [Rec Media for Movies] screen.

[FUNC.] >[MENU] >r>[Rec Media for Movies]

3Activate double slot recording. [6] >[Double Slot Rec] >[i]

4Touch [X].

4will appear on the screen.

NOTES

If a memory card becomes full during double slot recording, recording on both cards will stop.

If an error occurs with one of the memory cards, recording will continue on the other card.

Initializing the Memory

Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also initialize a memory card or the built-in memory to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.

At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-initialized and contains music files for use as background music and images for use with the image mix function (image mix frames).

Operating modes:

1Power the camcorder using the compact power adapter.

• Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the initialization is completed.

2Open the initialization screen for the desired memory.

[FUNC.] >[MENU] >q>[Initialize &/*] >[&Built-in Mem.], [6Mem. Card A] or [7Mem. Card B] >[Initialize]

Touching [FUNC.] is necessary only when performing the procedure in a recording mode.

In the initialization screen, touch [Complete Initialization] to physically erase all the data rather than just clear the file allocation table of the memory.

3Touch [Yes].

If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel] to cancel the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will be erased and the memory can be used without any problem.

4 Touch [OK] and then touch [X].
