Notes on use

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the card or by static electricity.

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

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

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 movie on the memory card, and then displays a warning:

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

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, the resolution and quality of the recording may be lower than the value you set. pages 61~62 The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory the camcorder uses.
