See the instructions that come with the memory card for information about how to use it.

Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to record a movie using the “UHQ”, “UHQ Wide”, “HQ”, or “HQ Wide” image quality setting. Because of this, use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,

which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “ ” and “ ” flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of a

memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a write protect switch. Use it when you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note, however, if you write protect a memory card you must then turn write protection off whenever you want to record to the card, format it, or delete any of its images.

Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disk, hard disk, etc.).
