If you cannot use a memory card that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.

A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

A memory card is a precision electronic media. Do not bend it, drop it, or cause a strong impact.

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 the 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.

Notes on use

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.

We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and 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 for data storage preference!

The data storage speed may differ, according to 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 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 any bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the movie on the memory card and displays a warning:

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

If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, resolution and quality of the recording may be lower than the set value. pages 47~48 The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory will be used.
