Format
The format function completely deletes all fi les and options on the storage media, including protected fi les.
You can format (initialize) recording data in the storage media. You have to format the pre-used storage media or
newly purchased memory cards with this memory camcorder before using them. This enables stable speeds and
operation when accessing the recording medium.
Be aware that all fi les and data including protected fi les will be erased.

"Series"
Assigns fi le numbers in sequence even if the memory card is replaced with another one
or after formatting, or after deleting all fi les. The fi le number is reset when a new folder is
created.
"Reset"
Resets the fi le number to 0001 even after formatting, deleting all fi les or inserting a new
memory card.
When you set "File No." to "Series", each fi le is assigned with a different number so as to avoid duplicating fi le
names. It is convenient when you want to manage your fi les on a PC.
Do not remove the recording medium or perform any other operation (such as turning off the power) during
format. Also, be sure to use the provided AC power adaptor, as the recording medium may be corrupted if
the battery becomes exhausted during format. If the recording medium becomes corrupted, format it again.
A memory card with the protection tab set to lock will not be formatted.
