Initializing a disc
What is initialization?
Initialization is required to record images
on a disc.
When you perform finalization (page 44)
using your camera to view images through
a disc drive, initialization is also
automatically performed, and you can
continue to record images. Images recorded
before finalization remain on the disc.
