Formatting a Card

Available mode:
Card Camera
Before using a commercially available card
with this camcorder, you must first have it
formatted. Also, if any of the following
warning indicators displays, you will need to
format your card.
• "FORMAT MEMORY CARD"
• "MEMORY CARD ERROR"
• "MEMORY CARD READ ERROR"
• "CANNOT STORE DATA"
Notes:
• Formatting a card erases all stored images,
including delete-protected images. Be sure
to backup important data on your computer
or other media before formatting the card
(see pages 86–88).
• Do not remove the power source during
formatting, as this may cause damage to the
camcorder or card. It is recommended that
you use the AC outlet for the power supply.
