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 a cable) after the
finalization process started may result
in
permanent data loss.

not disconnect the power source
while the operation
is
in
progress. Doing
so
can interrupt the process and result
in
permanent data loss.

the
disc specification, after finalizing the disc
you

be
able to initialize the disc,
edit your recordings or add
new
recordings to the disc. Refer to the table
on
