Recording Movies on a Memory Card
You can record Motion JPEG movies with the camcorder, from a tape in the camcorder or from devices connected via the DV terminal or the AV terminal. The sound of a movie recorded on a memory card will be monaural.
1.Select the movie size for recording on the card: Open the FUNC. menu
and select (
) the movie size icon. Select (
) a setting option other than the default 
[MOVIE REC OFF] and close the menu.
2.Press the start/stop button to begin recording.
With SD Memory Cards up to 2 GB, you can record until “CARD FULL” appears (approx. 32 minutes with a 512 MB SD Memory Card). With MultiMediaCards, the recording time is limited to 10 sec. in 320 x 240 pixels or 30 sec. in 160 x 120 pixels.
3.Press the start/stop button to stop recording.
Do not turn off the camcorder, change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch, 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 an SD Memory Card, make sure that the protect switch is set to allow recording.
Do not load/unload a cassette during recording.
We recommend using a Canon SD Memory Card, or an SD Memory Card with a transfer rate of more than 2 MB/sec., right after initializing it with this camcorder. With memory cards not initialized with this camcorder, or when recording/erasing has been repeatedly performed, the writing speed may be lower and recording may stop.
You can select the focusing point when recording a movie on the memory card.
Users of Windows XP: When you plan to connect the camcorder to a computer, keep the length of one movie shorter than approx. 12 min. in 320 x 240 or 35 min. in 160 x 120.
Recording from a Tape in the Camcorder
1.Play back the tape.
2.Press the start/stop button when the scene you wish to record appears.
3.Press the start/stop button to stop recording.
