I'm sorry that the Camcorder is displaying the error message. The error message indicates that the format of the internal memory is corrupted. It may be due to the deletion of Camcorder's default files from the internal memory. It can happen when connecting to Computer and browse using Windows Movie Maker. To avoid happening this in the future, please transfer videos and pictures using Picture Motion Browser Software. Once you format the internal memory of the Camcorder, you will be able to use it for new recordings. Note: Formatting will delete all data and video stored in the Memory. You can follow the below steps to format the internal Memory.

Need to permanently delete video

In this case, I suggest that you format the Internal Memory of the Camcorder using the Camcorder as follows:

Touch HOME -> Manage Media -> Media Format -> touch the recording Media to be formatted[INT. MEMORY] or [Memory Stick] -> YES -> YES -> OK.

Formatting the Internal Memory or Memory Stick will delete all the data saved in the Internal Memory or in the Memory Stick.

You may also refer the page # 36 in the Manual of the Camcorder for more information about this.

Please download the manual (Operating Guide) of the Camcorder from this link:

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
    First copy all your data from your camera to memory card and then pull out the memory card then format the internal memory of the camera and then put an empty card in it it would work again.
Thanks for using FIXYA!
