Before recording
First, format the SD card or the disc if one which has been used on another device is going to be used
for the first time on this unit. (l 93) When the SD card or the disc is formatted, all of the recorded data
is deleted. Once the data is deleted, it cannot be restored. Copy valuable data onto a PC or other
device before proceeding with the formatting.
We recommend using HD Writer 2.0E for SX/SD to import data recorded on this unit. (l 123)
