Formatting the SD Card*
Before you insert an SD card into your DV camera for
the first time, you will need to format the SD card with
the DV camera. In most cases, the newly purchased SD
card can be directly used for storing images. To prevent
possible malfunction, it is best to format the SD card
before you shoot.
In addition, you can use the format function to erase all
previous files stored in the DV camera’s internal
memory or in the SD card.
To format the SD card:
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Press   to select the Setup ( )
menu option at the top.
3. Use the  /  button to select “ ”
– Format, then press the 
button.
A Format screen displays on the
LCD screen, allowing you to
format the installed SD card or to
cancel
.
4. Use the  /  button to select “OK”, then press the 
button.
The SD card will begin formatting. When formatting
is completed, the LCD screen returns to the Setup
menu screen.
5. Press the MENU button to exit the menu.
NOTE:
• The format function removes all files from the DV
camera’s internal memory or SD card permanently. Before
you perform the format operation, ensure that you have
saved all desired images and video/audio clips from the
DV camera.
• A “MEMORY FULL” message appears on the LCD screen if
the internal memory or the SD card is full. To resolve --
- Connect the DV camera to your computer, then
transfer the stored files from the DV camera's internal
memory or the SD card to the computer.
- Remove all the files in the SD card or the DV camera’s
internal memory, or use a new SD card. Individual
images can also be deleted to free up memory.
• Improper use of the SD card may damage its stored files.
For better storage, transfer the files from your SD card to
your computer, and back up the files to a hard disk or
CD-ROM.
* SD card is optional and is not included with your
purchase.
