Preparation for viewing images using a computer (Finalize)

Finalizing a disc

You must execute finalization before
viewing images recorded with your camera
through a disc drive. Discs that have not
been finalized cannot be read with a disc
drive.

What is finalization?

• Finalization is required to view images
recorded with your camera through a disc
drive.
• You can record new images on a finalized
disc by initializing it again. Initialization
is automatically performed when a disc is
finalized using the camera. You must
execute finalization to view new images
through a disc drive. However, each time
you execute finalization, the disc
remaining space will decrease by
approximately 13 MB. Therefore, we
recommend that you execute finalization
for multiple images at a time.
• You can finalize a disc later, even if you
remove it from the camera.
• The disc drive must support MultiRead in
order to read discs that have been
finalized.
