■ Initializing the External Hard Drive
1 Connect the external hard drive to the camcorder.
• Steps 1 to 3 in the previous procedure (A 157).
2 Initialize the external hard drive.
1

just clear the file allocation table of the hard drive. For large-capacity hard
drives this operation can take several hours.
2
If you selected the [Complete Initialization] option, you can touch [Cancel]
> [OK] to cancel the initialization while it is in progress. All recordings will
be erased and the hard drive can be used without any problem.
3 Safely end the connection to the external hard drive before
physically disconnecting it.
• Be careful when deleting recordings. Once deleted, record-
ings cannot be recovered.
•Initializing the external hard drive will permanently erase all
the data on the hard drive (including your recordings, previ-
ous data not saved with the camcorder, and partitioned
drives). Make sure to copy in advance important data to a
computer or other device.
