Formatting a Card
Available mode: CARD-CAMERA
In order to use a commercially available card
with this camcorder, formatting is necessary
before its first use. You also need to format a
card when one of the following warning
indicators appears, in order to use the card
with the camcorder.
•“FORMAT MEMORY CARD”
•“MEMORY CARD ERROR”
•“MEMORY CARD READ ERROR”
•“CANNOT STORE DATA”
Cautions:
• Formatting a 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 70, 71 and 84 to transfer data
on a card to a computer.)
• Do not remove the power source during
formatting, as this may cause damage to the
camcorder or card. It is recommended that you
use the AC outlet for the power supply.
