CAUTION

Do not remove the memory card or perform any other operation (such as turning off the camcorder) during deletion. Also, be sure to use the provided AC Adapter, as the memory card may be corrupted if the battery becomes exhausted during deletion. If the memory card becomes corrupted, initialise it. ( pg. 24)

IMPORTANT

Be sure to always use the same tape and memory card together as they were during recording; otherwise, the camcorder cannot recognize Tape and Memory Card IDs to perform NAVIGATION function properly.

Check if an appropriate tape and memory card are loaded when the following messages appear: “NO ID ON TAPE OR CARD”, “UNABLE TO USE NAVIGA- TION”, “THIS MEMORY CARD IS NOT COMPAT- IBLE”.

If you change the memory card while shooting on one tape, two memory cards will share the tape’s thumbnail images. We recommend that you use one memory card for one tape.

NAVIGATION Search does not work if the current position is at a blank portion on the tape. Also, do not leave a blank portion partway through the tape when shooting; otherwise, NAVIGATION function does not work properly.

Before shooting newly over a recorded tape, be sure to delete all thumbnail images of the previous recording from the relevant memory card.

If you copy thumbnail images from one memory card to another via a PC, NAVIGATION Search does not work with the copied memory card.
