IMPORTANT
• Initializing the memory will permanently erase all recordings. Lost origi-
nal recordings cannot be recovered. Make sure you save important
recordings in advance using an external device (A 107).
• Initializing a memory card will permanently erase any music files and
images you may have transferred to the card. (6/4 The music
files and image mix frames that come pre-installed in the built-in mem-
ory will be restored after it is initialized.) To transfer music files from the
supplied VIXIA CD-ROM to the memory card:

Transfer Utility LE. For details, refer to the Software Guide (PDF file)
of PIXELA’s software.
- Mac OS users: Use Finder to transfer music files from the “MUSIC”
folder on the supplied VIXIA CD-ROM to the memory card. Refer to
