Handling a memory card

Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk of your PC.

Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may cause data loss.

If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card with your PC, your camcorder may not recognize the modified file.

The memory card does not support any data recovery mode. Therefore, care should be taken in case the memory card is damaged while recording.

Make sure to format the memory card on this camcorder. If the memory card had been formatted by a PC or other device, using it on this camcorder without formatting may find trouble with recording and/or playback. Samsung is not responsible for damage of recorded contents caused by such reasons.

You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognize or with data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card and deleted data cannot be recovered.

A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to strong impacts.

Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.

Do not paste anything other than the label provided with the card on the label pasting area of the card.

Do not use a damaged memory card.

32• Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it.

The camcorder supports SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards!

The data storage speed of cards may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system.

SLC (single level cell) system: faster write speed enabled.

MLC (multi level cell) system: only lower write speed is supported.

For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports a faster write speed.

Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may cause difficulties when storing.

You may even lose your video data during the recording. In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video on a low speed card, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and displays a warning:

Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution.

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the resolution and quality of the recording may be lower than the value you set. ¬page 53

The higher the video resolution and quality, the more memory the camcorder uses.

• Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including loss caused by any PC virus.

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the card or by static electricity.

After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
