as well as from scenes that have already been recorded on a cassette.
The size of images that are recorded using this Palmcorder is approximately 
3,000,000 pixels. Recording of images with a size that is larger than a million 
pixels is called mega-pixel still-picture recording. Compared to images of 
normal recording, images that are created by mega-pixel still-picture 
recording can be printed out more clearly.

Formatting a Memory Card 
If a Memory Card becomes unreadable by the Palmcorder, formatting it may 
make it reusable. Formatting will delete all the data recorded on a Memory 
Card.
After setting the Palmcorder to Card Playback Mode (l 45).....
1Set [CARD FUNCTIONS] >> [CARD EDITING] >> 
[CARD FORMAT] >> [YES].
2Select [YES] and press the [PUSH] Dial.

≥When the formatting is completed, the screen becomes white.
≥Even if files are locked, the files will be deleted when the Memory Card is 
formatted.
≥It may not be possible to use a Card which was formatted using this 
Palmcorder on another unit. In this case, format the Card on the unit which 
will be using the Card. Take steps to ensure that valuable files are stored on 
a personal computer, etc. as well, before proceeding.
≥A Card formatted with other equipment (like a Personal Computer) might be 
unusable or might take more time for recording. We recommend that you 
use this Palmcorder to format it.
