Format the recording media using
[MEDIA FORMAT] if images are not
recorded or played back properly
If you continue recording and deleting
images on recording media for a long time,
the files on that recording media may be
fragmented. As a result, you may not be
able to record and save images properly. If
this happens, save images on a separate
recordable media, such as a disc or
computer, then format the recording media
(p. 63).
Note on disposal/transfer
Even if you format the recording media on
your camcorder or computer, you may not
delete data from the recording media
completely. When you transfer the
recording media or your camcorder, it is
recommended that you delete the data
completely using commercially available
data deletion software to prevent the
recovery of your data. Also, when you
dispose of the recording media, it is
recommended that you destroy the actual
body of the recording media.
About the operation of the camcorder
You can operate the camcorder using the
SEL/PUSH EXEC dial (p. 21,65), V/v/B/
b/EXEC buttons (p. 65), and the touch
panel. However, you cannot use the touch
panel to make some settings such as the
MENU items.
