Format

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

You can format (initialize) recording data in the storage media. You have to format the pre-used storage media or newly purchased memory cards with this memory 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.

"Series"	Assigns fi le numbers in sequence even if the memory card is replaced with another one
	or after formatting, or after deleting all fi les. The fi le number is reset when a new folder is
	created.
"Reset"	Resets the fi le number to 0001 even after formatting, deleting all fi les or inserting a new
	memory card.

When you set "File No." to "Series", each fi le is assigned with a different number so as to avoid duplicating fi le names. It is convenient when you want to manage your fi les on a PC.
