Sony HDR-XR100 Operating Instructions Manual page 138

Preventing data on the
internal hard disk from
being recovered
[e EMPTY] allows you to write
unintelligible data onto the internal hard
disk of the camcorder. In this way, it may
become more difficult to recover any
original data. When you dispose of or
transfer the camcorder, it is recommended
that you perform [e EMPTY].
(!) Notes
• If you perform [e EMPTY], all the images are
deleted. To avoid the loss of important images,
they should be saved (p. 66, see Operating
Guide too) before performing [e EMPTY].
• You cannot perform [e EMPTY] unless you
connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall
socket).
• Disconnect all cables except the AC Adaptor.
Do not disconnect the AC Adaptor during the
operation.
• While performing [e EMPTY], do not apply
any vibrations or shocks to your camcorder.
1
Connect the AC Adaptor to the
DC IN jack on the camcorder and
the wall outlet (wall socket).
