 Your camcorder may require initializing 

or changing the current hard disk of the 

camcorder, depending on the problem. In this 

case, the data stored on the hard disk will be 

deleted. Be sure to save the data on the hard 

disk (p. 37) on other media (backup) before 

sending your camcorder for repair. We will not 

compensate you for any loss of hard disk data.
