Formatting A Card - Sharp ViewCam VL-MC500S Operation Manual

Formatting a Card

Available mode:
Card Camera
Before using a commercially available card
with this camcorder, you must first have it
formatted. Also, if any of the following warning
indicators displays, you will need to format your
card.
• "FORMAT MEMORY CARD"
• "MEMORY CARD ERROR"
• "MEMORY CARD READ ERROR"
• "CANNOT STORE DATA"
Cautions:
• Formatting a card erases all stored images,
including delete-protected images. Be sure to
backup important data on your computer or
other media before formatting the card (see
pages 76, 77).
• Do not remove the power source during
formatting, as this may cause damage to the
camcorder or card. It is recommended that you
use the AC outlet for the power supply.
