SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD (NOT SUPPLIED)

Compatible memory cards

This camcorder can be used with SD and SDHC cards. We recommend you use an SDHC card.

SD cards up to 2GB are supported by this camcorder. Normal operation is not guaranteed with SD cards bigger than 2GB.

MMC (Multi Media Card) and MMC Plus are not supported.

Compatible memory card capacity: SD 1GB ~ 2GB, SDHC 4GB ~ 32GB

For video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speeds (above SDHC Class 6 card).

SD/SDHC memory cards have a mechanical write-protection switch. Setting the switch prevents accidental erasure of files recorded on the card. To enable writing, move the switch up in the direction of the terminals. To set write protection, move the switch down.

SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards

An SDHC card is a higher version (Ver. 2.00) of the SD card and supports capacities above 4GB.

SDHC cards cannot be used with current SD enabled host devices.

Common cautions for memory cards

Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk of your PC.

Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may cause data loss.

After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not recognize the modified file.
