Canon HF10 Maintenance/Others, Disposal, Cleaning, 114, When you delete movies or initialize

Additional Information

Disposal

When you delete movies or initialize the

built-in memory ( only) or memory card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the camcorder or memory card, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data.

If giving the camcorder to another person, initialize the built-in memory using the [COMPL.INIT.] setting ( 33). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same method. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult.
