Handling a memory card

•We recommend that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.

•You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise or with data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card and deleted data cannot be recovered.

•A memory card has a certain life span.

If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

•Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to strong impacts.

•Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required.

•Do not paste anything other than label provided with the card on the label pasting section.

•Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it.

•Make sure to format the memory card on this camcorder. If the memory card had been formatted by a PC or other device, using it on this camcorder without formatting may find trouble with recording and/or playback. Samsung is not responsible for damage of recorded contents caused by such reasons.

The camcorder supports micro SD and micro SDHC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards!

The data storage speed may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system.

•SLC (Single Level Cell) system: faster write speed enabled.

•MLC (Multi Level Cell) system: only lower write speed is supported.

For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports a faster write speed. Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may cause difficulties when storing. You may even lose your video data during the recording.

In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and displays a warning:

“Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution.”

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the resolution of the recording may be lower than the value you set. ￿page 44

The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory the camcorder uses.

Using the memory card adaptor

Record mode

This camcorder uses micro SD/micro SDHC memory cards.

To use a micro SD/micro SDHC directly with a computer or a card reader you must attach it to or insert it into an adaptor.

•Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.

•We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss caused by motion or static electricity.

• After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
