Using SD Cards
Initializing an SD Card
Initialize SD cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also initialize a card to

The following procedure is explained using only the touch screen and an abbreviated notation explained in the
34
following section. For a detailed explanation, refer to Using the Menus (A 35).
Operating modes:
1 Power the camcorder using the AC adapter.
• Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the initialization is completed.

> [3 "* Recording Setup] > [Initialize 8] > [6 Mem. Card A] or [7 Mem. Card B] > [Initialize]

mode.
• In the initialization screen, touch [Complete Initialization] to physically erase all the data rather than just clear
the file allocation table of the SD card.
