IMPORTANT

Be sure to finalize the disc in normal

room temperatures. If the procedure
was not completed correctly due to
high temperature, let the camcorder
cool off before resuming operation.

Place the camcorder on a table or

other stable surface before starting
the procedure. Subjecting the
camcorder even to slight impacts (for
example to place it on a table or to
disconnect a cable) after the
finalization process started may result
in permanent data loss.

• Do not disconnect the power source

while the operation is in progress. Doing
so can interrupt the process and result in
permanent data loss.

• Depending on the type of disc and the

disc specification, after finalizing the disc
you may not be able to initialize the disc,
edit your recordings or add new
recordings to the disc.

• Do not use this camcorder to finalize

discs that were not recorded using it.

NOTES

• The time required to finalize the disc

depends on the scenes recorded and the
remaining free space on the disc.

• After the disc is finalized,

will appear

on the playback screen.
