Disposal
When you delete data on the recording media, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not
physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the recording media, for example by
physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data.
If giving the recording media to another person, initialize it (using the [Complete Initialization] initialization option
for SD cards) (A 34). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again. This makes recovering the
original recordings very difficult.
Built-in Rechargeable Lithium Battery
The camcorder has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery to keep the date/time and other settings. The built-in
lithium battery is recharged while you use the camcorder; however, it will discharge completely if you do not use
the camcorder for about 3 months.
To recharge the built-in lithium battery: Connect the compact power adapter to the camcorder and use a
household power outlet to power the camcorder for 24 hours while it is turned off.
