information
Disposal
When you delete movies
or
initialize the
built-in memory
(1iHl
/
tml
/Im)
only) or memory card, only the file
allocation table is altered and stored
data is not physically erased. Take the
necessary precautions when you
dispose of the camcorder or memory
card, for example by physically
damaging it
to
prevent the leakage
of
private data.
liHl/tml/1m)
If giving the
camcorder
to
another person, initialize
the built-in memory using the
[COMPL.INIT.] setting
(OJ
32), fill it up
with unimportant recordings, and then
initialize it again using the same
method. This makes recovering the
original recordings very difficult.
