Viewing images using CD-ROM drive Mode dial Finalizing a disc You must execute finalization before viewing images recorded with your camera through a CD-ROM drive. Discs that have not been finalized cannot be read with a CD-ROM drive. What is finalization? • Finalization is required to view images recorded with your camera through a CDROM drive. • You can record new images on a finalized disc by initializing it again.
