The HD camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus memory cards for data storage. The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system.

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

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

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

Using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may cause difficulties with storing the movie on the memory card. You may even lose your movie data during the recording.

In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the HD camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the memory card and displays a warning: “Low Speed Card. Please record a Lower quality”

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, resolution and quality of the recording may be lower than the set value. page 63-64

However, the higher the resolution and quality, the more memory will be used.

Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal firmware uses a portion of the memory.
