How can I avoid the data writing error (buffer overflow error) when recording to media?

Empty the media by the camcorder before recording.

[Reason]
If a memory card is used repeatedly, garbage data may accumulate, preventing the image data from being written at the guaranteed speed. In this case, recording may stop suddenly.

[Remedy]
If this happens, empty the media to avoid the writing error. Emptying the media can erase more data than ordinary formatting.

[Connection and Setup]
Use an AC adapter.

[Method]
MENU > OTHERS > MEDIA FORMAT > Empty

[Note]
  - If you perform this operation, all stored data is deleted.
    To avoid the loss of important images, you should save them on a computer or external drive, before formatting the media.
  - A memory card formatted (initialised) by a computer does not have guaranteed compatibility with your camcorder.
    Format or empty the media by the camcorder.
  - It may take from several minutes to several hours to erase data, depending on the capacity.
