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 ( only) 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 and image files for use with the image mix function (image mix frames).

IMPORTANT

• Initializing a memory will permanently erase all recordings. Lost original recordings cannot be recovered. Save important recordings in advance using an external device.
• Initializing a memory card will permanently erase any music files and images you may have transferred to the memory card. ( The music files and image mix frames that come pre-installed in the built-in memory will be restored after it is initialized.)
• About FlashAir cards: Initializing a FlashAir card with this camcorder will reset the card’s wireless settings (network names, SSID, passwords, etc.) to factory settings. We recommend formatting FlashAir cards on a computer, using the FlashAir configuration tools.

• If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel] to cancel the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will be erased and the memory can be used without any problem.
