Initialising DVD-RAM Disc or Card (Format Disc/Format Card)
1 Press the DISC NAVIGATION button.
2 Press the MENU button.
3 Choose “Format Disc” or “Format Card” on the
“Disc” or “Card” menu screen, and then press the
A button.
The screen for verifying “Format Disc” or
“Format Card” will appear.
4 Choose “YES”, and then press the A button.
Choose “NO” to cancel initialisation.
When initialising one side of the disc is complete,
the DVD Video Camera will return to the
recording pause status.
Note:
• Initialisation will delete all the recorded contents on disc
or card: Be careful not to delete data by mistake.
• Be sure to use the AC adaptor/charger when initialising
disc or card so that the DVD Video Camera is not turned
off midway. If initialisation is interrupted by power off, the
disc or card will not be initialised correctly, or it may be
damaged.
• It may not be possible to initialise a disc with many
scratches or dirt: Such a disc cannot be used.
• If you use a brand-new DVD-R disc, message “Disc is not
formatted” will appear: initialise the disc, following the
subsequent messages (See page 45).
• This DVD Video Camera may not recognise some discs
or cards that have been initialised on PC or a device other
than this DVD Video Camera.
• If you attempt to initialise a disc or card in this DVD Video
Camera when it is connected to PC via USB cable, the
disc or card may not be initialised and may be unusable
on this DVD Video Camera.
Before You Begin
• Take great care that power is not turned off during initialization: If the DVD
Video Camera is turned off during initialization and the initialization is
interrupted, incorrect initialization will result, and at worst, the data
recorded on disc or card may be damaged.
