Disposal

When you delete movies or initialize the memory, 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 or memory card to another person, initialize the

built-in memory ( only) or memory card using the [Com- plete Initialization] option (040). Fill it up with unimportant record- ings, and then initialize it again using the same option. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult.
