You can use the following types of commercially available Secure Digi-

As of October 2010, the movie recording function has been tested

* When using an SD memory card without a speed class r ating, you may not be able
to record movies, depending on the memory card used.
**SD memory cards with a capacity of 64 MB or smaller cannot be used to record
movies.
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.

SDXC Memory Cards

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. The table below summarizes compatibility by com-
puter operating system, as of October 2010. For the latest information,
however, contact the computer, operating system or memory card
