Initializing an SD Card
Initialize SD cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also initialize a card to
permanently delete all the recordings it contains.
The following procedure is explained using only the touch screen and an abbreviated notation explained in the
following section. For a detailed explanation, refer to Using the Menus (A 35).
1 Power the camcorder using the AC adapter.
• Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the initialization is completed.
2 Select [Initialize] for the desired SD card.
> [3 "* Recording Setup] > [Initialize 8] > [6 Mem. Card A] or [7 Mem. Card B] > [Initialize]
* Page ! in mode.
• In the initialization screen, touch [Complete Initialization] to physically erase all the data rather than just clear
the file allocation table of the SD card.
3 Touch [Yes].
• If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel] to cancel the initialization while it is
in progress. You can use the SD card but all data will be erased.
4 When the confirmation message appears, touch [OK] and then touch [X].
IMPORTANT
• Initializing an SD card will permanently erase all recordings. Lost data cannot be recovered. Make sure you
save important recordings in advance (A 111).
• Depending on the SD card, the complete initialization may take up to a few minutes.
