Introduction
Available features depend on the DVD disc used1 Disc initialization clears all the recordings on the disc and restores the free space on the disc to its
initial value so you can use the same disc again. DVD-R and DVD-R DL discs cannot be initialized.
2 Disc finalization is the processing of the free space (the unrecorded area) on the disc in order to
make it playable on external DVD devices ( 58). To finalize a DVD-R DL disc, the camcorder has
to process both layers. Therefore, and depending on the amount of free s pace on the disc, this
process may be lengthy.
3 Playback cannot be guaranteed with all external DVD devices.
4 You will need to unfinalize the disc first.
