❍ Do not turn off the camcorder, disconnect the power source, open the memory card cover or remove the memory card while the card access indicator is flashing. Doing so could result in data damage.

❍ When you are using a SD Memory Card, make sure that the protect switch is set to allow recording.

❍ Do not load/unload a cassette during recording.

❍ Make sure to insert a memory card with enough remaining capacity.

❍ We recommend saving the still images and movies on the memory card to a computer regularly.

❍We recommend a file size of 1 MB (352 ⋅ 288: approx. 20 sec., 176 ⋅ 144: approx. 60 sec.) if you plan to attach the MPEG-4 movie to an e-mail message.

❍The sound of a movie recorded on a memory card will be monaural.
