Format

The format function completely deletes all files and options on the storage media, including protected files.

You can format (initialise) recording data in the storage media. You have to format the pre-used storage media or newly purchased memory cards with this camcorder before using them. This enables stable speeds and operation when accessing the recording medium.

Be aware that all files and data including protected files will be erased.
