SDHC cards EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARD
There are two things to keep in mind when purchasing SDHC (Secure Digital
High Capacity) cards: the Class (speed) of the card and the size of the card.
SPEED CLASS
SDHC cards are broken down into Class 2, Class 4, Class 6 and Class 10 cards.
Class 2 cards offer a minimum sustained data rate of 2 megabytes per second
(MBps), Class 4 4MBps, Class 6 6MBps and Class 10 10MBps. Although Class 4
is the minimum speed class required to record, Class 6 (or higher) is recom-
mended for high denition (HD) camcorders.
Record inhibit
switch
Before recording,
check that the
record inhibit switch
is set to the un-
locked position. If
the switch is set to
the LOCK position,
recording on the SD
card will be impos-
sible.

CARD SIZE/CAPACITY
SDHC cards come in a variety of sizes. The most commonly used sizes are list-
ed below. The amount of time that can be recorded on a card is dependent not
only on the size of the card, but the record format selected (see page 6).
