the image data on a disc such as DVD-R using
your computer*. Also, you can save your image
data using a VCR, or a DVD/HDD recorder*.

When the camcorder is connected to a
computer

• Do not try to format the hard disk of the

camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.

Note on disposal/transfer

• Even if you perform [MEDIA FORMAT]* or

formatting the hard disk of the camcorder, you
may not delete data from the hard disk
completely. When you transfer the camcorder, it

of the camcorder.
