About writing the system file
The system file is the space on a disc that is
used to store information. The player rewrites
the system file whenever an operation such
as closing the lens cover after shooting still
images has been done. “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” appears in the display and you
cannot operate the player while the player is
rewriting the system file. Do not remove the
rechargeable battery while “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” is displayed. The data in the disc
may be damaged.
The player rewrites the system file when
– you close the lens cover.
– you shoot a still image using a disc that
has no folder to save images.
– you created a new folder.
– you press
/ and the mode is
changed to the viewing mode.
– you delete still images.
– you set a still image as the music cover art
( page 41).
Notes

function is changed to the viewing mode.

or under other intense light, undesired light
(ghosting) may enter the screen. If this happens,

first so that the menu disappears.
• If you do not operate the player for about 3
minutes during shooting, the player turns off
automatically to prevent wearing down the battery
(Auto Power-Off function).
