•Panasonic only guarantees compatibility with Panasonic brand cards and those bearing the SanDisk logo.

•This Camcorder can capture a maximum of 699 still images because of camera memory capacity.

Cautions for the Memory Card :

•While Memory Card data is being read, do not remove it, turn off the power, or subject unit to vibrations and shocks.

•Do not leave the Memory Card in a place with high temperature, exposed to direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves and static electricity can be generated.

•Electromagnetic waves, static electricity, malfunction of the Camcorder or of the Memory Card itself could erase the data recorded on it. To prevent the loss of picture data, we recommend that you make a backup copy on the computer.

•Do not bend or drop the Memory Card as this could damage it or the captured contents.

•Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of the Memory Card with your fingers, and take care that no dirt, dust or water enters it.

•Do not affix other labels to the Memory Card face or back as Card insertion/removal may become impossible.
