Handling Precautions English • Check the direction before inserting the recording media. Forcing recording media into the slot if it is not correctly oriented may damage the recording media or the camcorder. • Do not attach any labels or stickers on the recording media. • SD cards: SD cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the card's content. To write-protect the SD card, set the switch to the LOCK position. 235 Disposal When you delete data on the recording media, only the file allocation table is altered LOCK switch and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the recording media, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data. If giving the recording media to another person, initialize it (using the [Complete] initialization option for SD cards, A 41). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult. Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings.
