Cautions:

•Formatting a SmartMedia card deletes all images on the card including the delete- protected images. Be sure to copy important data on your computer or other media before formatting the card (see pages 71 and 72).

•Do not remove the power source during formatting, as this may cause damage to the camcorder or SmartMedia card. It is recom- mended that you use the AC outlet for the power supply.
