Initializing Cards
Initialize cards when you use them with this camera for the first time. You can also initialize a card to permanently
delete all the recordings it contains.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Initialize Media].
2 Select the desired card.
3 Select [OK].
• The card is initialized and all the data it contains is erased.
IMPORTANT
• SD cards are initialized using the FAT file system, SDHC cards using the FAT32 file system, and SDXC cards
using the exFAT file system.
• Initializing a card will permanently erase all data, including photos and protected custom picture files. Lost data
cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance.
• Depending on the card, initialization may take up to a few minutes.
NOTES
• If you set an assignable button to [Initialize Media] (A 123), you can press the button to open the [Initialize
Media] submenu.
Setting a Card’s Volume Label
You can set the volume label for SDXC cards used for recording, in order to make it easier to identify and
organize them later.
1 Select > [Æ Recording/Media Setup] > [Volume Label] > Desired option.
2 Initialize the card (A 36).
3 If necessary, set the clip file name’s metadata elements (A 41).
4 Record clips on the card.
• The card’s volume label changes when the first clip is recorded on a just initialized card.
Options
[Canon]: The card’s volume label will be “CANON” regardless of the clip file name settings.
[Canon + Metadata]:
The card’s volume label will be “CANON”, plus the camera index number and the reel number
(A 41).
