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 during playback.

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.

2 Initialize the memory.

* Touch this option if you want to physically erase all the data rather than just clear the file allocation table of the memory.

**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.
