What is initialization?
The initialization is required to record images on a disc.
In case that you have executed the finalization (page 32) using the camera to view
images on a CD-ROM drive, the initialization is automatically executed. You can
continuously record images. When executing the finalization using a computer or
other equipment, execute the initialization to record new images. Images recorded
before finalization will remain on the disc.
Tip
You can also execute the initialization using [ ] (DISC TOOL) in the setup settings
(page 84).

automatically to prevent wearing down the battery pack. To use the camera again,
push the POWER switch in the arrow direction to turn on the camera again.
Notes
• When using a CD-R, even if you delete images, the disc remaining space does not increase.
• Only when using a CD-RW, the disc remaining space increases after deleting the last-recorded
image if the is indicated on the LCD screen before deleting. If you modify an image, or
open and close the disc cover, will disappear.
• When recording bright subjects, the color of the LCD screen may change after the AE is
locked. However, this will not affect the recorded image.
• After you change the disc, “REPAIRING DATA” appears on the LCD screen and it may take
about 10 minutes to get ready for recording depending on the disc condition.
• When you press the shutter button fully down at once, the camera starts recording after the
automatic adjustment is complete. However, the recording cannot be carried out while the /
CHG lamp (page 8) is flashing. (During this time, the camera is charging the flash.)
• When the AE/AF lock indicator flashes slowly, the subject may be hard to focus on because it
is too dark or no contrast, or it may be too close to the camera. Release the shutter button, and
focus on it again.
