*When using an SD memory card without a speed class rating, you may not be able to record movies, depending on the memory card used.

NOTES

•About the Speed Class: Speed Class is a standard that indicates the mini- mum guaranteed data transfer speed of memory cards. When you buy a new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.

We recommend using memory cards rated SD Speed Class 4, 6 or 10.

You can use SDXC memory cards with this camcorder. When using memory cards with other devices, such as digital recorders, computers and card readers, make sure that the external device is compatible with SDXC cards.
