Preparation for viewing images using a computer (Finalize)

Finalizing a disc

You must execute finalization before viewing images recorded with your camera through a disc drive. Discs that have not been finalized cannot be read with a disc drive.

What is finalization?

•Finalization is required to view images recorded with your camera through a disc drive.

•You can record new images on a finalized disc by initializing it again. Initialization is automatically performed when a disc is finalized using the camera. You must execute finalization to view new images through a disc drive. However, each time you execute finalization, the disc remaining space will decrease by approximately 13 MB. Therefore, we recommend that you execute finalization for multiple images at a time.

•You can finalize a disc later, even if you remove it from the camera.

•The disc drive must support MultiRead in order to read discs that have been finalized.
