IMPORTANT

Initializing the memory card will erase all still images, even the protected ones. The original still images cannot be recovered.

When you feel the time it takes to record on or read from the memory card has become too long, we recommend you select the complete initialization.

The complete initialization may take a few minutes, depending on the capacity of the memory card.
