Memory card operating precautions

•If you purchase additional memory cards, format them with the camcorder, not a PC or other device. There have been cases where memory cards formatted with a PC or other device do not function properly.

•We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your PC’s hard drive or other external memory device. Image data may be damaged or lost due to a defect in a memory card, or if a memory card is exposed to static electricity. Contents of a memory card cannot be compensated for should data become damaged or lost.

•Do not remove the power source or the memory card while the camcorder is accessing (recording to, reading, erasing files from or formatting) the memory card.
