Formatting a SmartMedia
Card
In order to use a commercially-available
SmartMedia card with this camcorder,
formatting is necessary before its first use. You
also need to format a SmartMedia card when
one of the following warning indicators appears
and you still want to use the card with the
camcorder.
• “FORMAT MEMORY CARD”
• “MEMORY CARD ERROR”
• “MEMORY CARD READ ERROR”
• “CANNOT STORE DATA”
Cautions:
• Formatting a SmartMedia card deletes all
images on the card including the preinstalled
scene and title designs and the delete-
protected images. Be sure to copy important
data on your computer or other media before
formatting the card. (See page 90 to transfer
data on a SmartMedia card to a computer.)
• Do not remove the power source during
formatting, as this may cause damage to the
camcorder or SmartMedia card. We recommend
that you use the AC outlet for the power supply.
1 Insert a SmartMedia card to be
formatted in the camcorder.
2 Set the camcorder to Card Recording
mode.
3 Press the MENU/DISPLAY button until
the menu screen appears.
• To cancel formatting, press the Stop
button (A).
5 Press the
(Set) button to begin
formatting.
4 Turn the SET-PUSH dial (Q) to select
“FORMAT”, and then press the dial (W)
to display the format screen.
