Getting ready to start recording

This product supports micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro SDXC 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 the card is storing. You may even lose your video data during the recording.

In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the product forcibly stores the video on the low speed 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 set value. ¬page 53

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

Using the memory card adaptor

This product uses micro SD, micro SDHC, and micro SDXC memory cards.

To use a memory card 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, including loss caused by any PC virus.

We recommend storing memory cards in memory card cases 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.
