Viewing images using
CD-ROM drive
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 CD-
ROM drive.
• You can record new images on a finalized
disc by initializing it again. Initialization
is automatically performed when a disc is
finalized using the camera. You must
execute finalization to view new images
through a CD-ROM drive. However,
each time you execute finalization, the
disc remaining space will decrease by
approximately 13 MB. Therefore, we
recommend that you execute finalization
for multiple images at a time.
• You can finalize a disc later, even if you
remove it from the camera.
• The CD-ROM drive must support
MultiRead in order to read discs that have
been finalized.
a Set the mode dial to SET UP,
and turn on the power.
The SET UP screen appears on the
LCD screen.
• During finalization, we recommend using the
AC Adaptor to prevent the power from turning
off partway.
