PLAYBACK
OTHER
When “DSC” is selected (the DSC Lamp is lit):
Since the camcorder is a microcomputer-controlled device, external noise and interference (from a TV, a
radio, etc.) might prevent it from functioning properly. For example, when a still image you shot is stored
in the camcorder’s built-in memory, the above may cause the following: Although the remaining number
of shots indicator shows that shooting is possible, a still image cannot be stored in memory after shooting.
In such a case, initialize the memory by following steps 1 through 3 below. Please note that initialization
deletes all the still images (including ones for which you performed the “Protect” function) stored in the
camcorder’s memory. If you wish to keep any of the still images that are stored in memory, before
initialization first transfer them to a PC and save them. If image data is corrupt, transfer is impossible.
1. Set the Power Switch to “ ”. If the DSC Lamp is not lit, press REFRESH
for approx. 1 second to select “DSC”.
2. Press P.AE for more than 5 seconds. The FORMAT Menu appears.
3. Rotate the MENU Wheel to select “CANCEL” or “ENTER” , then press it.
•“CANCEL” does not initialize the memory.
•“ENTER” initializes the memory. During initialization, “ENTER” blinks.
When initialization is complete, the screen becomes blue back.
CAUTION:
While “ENTER” is selected and it is blinking, switching off the camcorder or removing the power supply
unit (battery pack or AC Adapter) may cause the camcorder’s built-in memory to become corrupt.
Never remove the power supply unit at this stage.
