Solution
Initialize memory cards when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. You can also initialize a memory card to permanently delete all the recordings it contains.

- Initializing the memory will permanently erase all recordings. Lost original recordings cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important recordings in advance using an external device.
1. Power the camcorder using the compact power adapter.
IMPORTANT
Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder until the initialization is completed.
