Preventing data on the 

internal memory from 

being recovered

[ EMPTY] allows you to write 

unintelligible data onto the internal 

memory 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 [ EMPTY].

Notes

If you perform [ EMPTY], all the images are 

deleted. To avoid the loss of important images, 

they should be saved (p. 59, see Operating 

Guide too) before performing [ EMPTY].

You cannot perform [ 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 [ EMPTY], do not apply 

any vibrations or shocks to your camcorder.

If you do not use the “Handycam” Station 

Cradle, connect the AC Adaptor to the 

camcorder (p. 19), then proceed to step 3.
