Common cautions for memory cards

Damaged data may not be recovered. 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 recognise the modified file.
