Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also initialize a memory card or the built-in memory to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.
At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes preinitialized and contains music files for use as background music during playback. It also contains images used for the image mix function.
Attention:
- Initializing the memory will permanently erase all recordings. Lost original recordings cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance using an external device.
- Initializing a memory card will permanently erase any music and image files you may have transferred to the card. (The music and image files that come pre-installed in the built-in memory will be restored after it is initialized.)
- At the time of purchase, Eye-Fi cards contain the necessary network configuration software. Be sure to install the software and complete the required configuration setup before you initialize the Eye-Fi card prior to using it with this camcorder.
