Initializing a Memory Card
Initialize new memory cards, or when you get the message “CARD ERROR”. You can also initialize a
memory card to erase all data recorded on it. The regular initialization option [INITIALIZE] will clear the
file allocation table but will not physically erase the stored data. If you need to completely erase all the
data, select instead the complete initialization option [COMPL.INIT.].
Initializing a memory card erases all data, including protected images and custom preset files.
Images and custom preset files erased through the card initialization cannot be recovered.
We recommend using the [COMPL.INIT.] option when you feel that the time it takes to record an
image on or read an image from the memory card has become too long.
Depending on the memory card, the complete initialization may take up to a few minutes.
If you use a memory card other than the supplied one, initialize it with the camcorder.
1. Open the menu and select [CARD OPERATIONS].
2. Select [INITIALIZE] and select the regular or the complete initialization.
3. [INITIALIZE]: Select [YES].
[COMPL.INIT.]: Select [YES] and, in the confirmation screen, select [YES] again.
• The card initialization starts.
• The complete initialization can be canceled halfway through by pressing the SELECT/SET dial. All the
image files will be erased and the memory card can be used without any problem.
