Playing Back the Disc on an External Device
To play the disc you recorded on a DVD
player, a computer’s DVD drive or other
digital device, you need to finalize it first.
You do not need to finalize the disc to
play back your recordings with the
camcorder connected to the TV.
To view your still images on a DVD player
you will need to convert them to
Photomovie scenes beforehand (
60).
IMPORTANT
Be sure to finalize the disc in normal room
temperatures. If the procedure was not completed
correctly due to high temperature, let the camcorder
cool off before resuming operation.
Place the camcorder on a table or other stable
surface before starting the procedure. Subjecting
the camcorder even to slight impacts (for example to
place it on a table or to disconnect the AV cable)
after the finalization process started may result in
permanent data loss.
Always power the camcorder using the
compact power adapter. The operation cannot
be started if the camcorder is powered only with
the battery pack.
Avoid the following actions while the operation
is in progress. Failing to do so can interrupt the
process and result in permanent data loss.
- Do not move the camcorder.
- Do not disconnect the compact power adapter.
Depending on the type of disc and the disc
specification, after finalizing the disc you may not
be able to initialize the disc, edit your recordings
or add new recordings to the disc.
Do not finalize with this camcorder discs that
were not recorded using it.
NOTES
The time required to complete the operation will
vary depending on the recording conditions and
the remaining free space on the disc.
Restrictions after Disc Finalization
* You will need to unfinalize the disc first.
