(cont.)
Since the camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device, external noise and interference (from a TV, a
radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. For example, when a still image you shot is stored
in the camcorder's built-in memory, the above may cause the following: Although the remaining number
of shots indicator shows that shooting is possible, a still image cannot be stored in memory after shooting.
In such a case, initialize the memory by following steps 1 through 3 below. Please note that initialization
deletes all the still images (including ones for which you performed the “Protect” function) stored in the
camcorder’s memory. If you wish to keep any of the still images that are stored in memory, before
initialization first transfer them to a PC and save them. If image data is corrupt, transfer is impossible.
1. Set the System Select Switch to “D.S.C.”, then set the Power Switch to
“PLAY”.
2. Press the MODE Button for more than 5 seconds. The FORMAT Menu
Screen appears.
3. Rotate the MENU Jog Dial to move the highlight bar to “CANCEL” or
“ENTER”, then press it.
•“CANCEL” does not initialize the memory.
•“ENTER” initializes the memory. During initialization, “ENTER” blinks.
When initialization is complete, the screen becomes blue back.

CAUTION:
While “ENTER” is selected and it is blinking, switching off the camcorder or removing the power supply unit
(battery pack or AC Power Adapter/Charger) may cause the camcorder’s built-in memory to become corrupt.
Never remove the power supply unit at this stage.
