[Wolf Austad] "Separate the Formatting menu from the menu where you type in Scene & Take numbers."
it is a separate menu item under MEDIA.
All functions relating to how you handle the media are in the same grouping.
I have not been able to errantly re-foramt a drive from the unit interface settings- nor could 3 other people that I had try, one of which was my mother who is in her 70's!
formatting the drive is a 3 step process.
You must tell the machine that you want to format.
You must activate a separate button to ARM the formatting process.
You then release and hold down that a button for 2 secs before formatting begins.
You immediately exit the process by pushing any one of the Transport buttons.
