Handling a memory card

•We recommend you turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing a memory card to avoid data loss.

•There is no guarantee that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder.

•You must 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. ²page 73

•If you cannot use a memory card that has been used by another device, format it with your camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.

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

•A memory card is a precision electronic media. Do not bend, drop, or cause strong impact to the card.

•Do not use or store at high temperatures, in humid conditions, or a dusty environment.

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

•Do not paste anything on the card except a label on the label pasting portion.

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

The camcorder supports SD/SDHC memory cards for data storage.

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

•Users using a lower write speed memory card for recording a video may have difﬁculties storing the video on the memory card. You can even lose your video data during the recording.

•In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and displays a warning:

"Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution."

To facilitate video recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speeds.

•If you are forced to use a low speed memory card, resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. However, the higher the resolu- tion, the more memory will be used.

•For optimal performance of the camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.
