Initializing The Memory - Canon Vixia HF M41 Instruction Manual

Initializing the Memory

Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for the
first time. You can also initialize a memory card or the built-in memory
( only) to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.
At the time of purchase, the built-in memory comes pre-ini-
tialized and contains music files for use as background music and
images for use with the image mix function (image mix frames).
Operating modes:
1 Power the camcorder using the compact power adapter.
Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the
initialization is completed.
2 Initialize the memory.
