3 – Preparation
5. When formatting completes, the pop-up disappears and
the Home Screen opens.
NOTE
The writing speeds to SD cards and other storage media
that use flash memory tend to decrease after writing occurs
repeatedly.
If the writing speed decreases, this could have a negative
impact on recording.
Using the ERASE FORMAT function of this unit should restore
the writing speed of an SD card.*
For this reason, we recommend using the ERASE FORMAT
function at the following times.
oWhenever the card has been written to until it became
completely full
oOn a regular schedule (about once per month)
oBefore starting important recordings
* Writing speed might not be restored depending on the SD
card condition (including malfunction and age).
