c At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-ini-
tialized and contains music files for use as background music during

Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the
initialization is completed.

* Touch this option if you want to physically erase all the data rather than just clear
the file allocation table of the memory.

can be used without any problem.
