SELECTING A SUITABLE MEMORY CARD (Not supplied)

Compatible memory cards

You can use SD (Secure Digital) and SDHC (Secure Digital High
Capacity) cards with this camcorder. We recommend you use
an SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) card. This camcorder
supports SD cards up to 2GB. We cannot guarantee normal
operation 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
Use compatible memory card brands. Others are not guaranteed
to work. A list of compatible brands is below:
- SDHC/SD cards: Panasonic, SanDisk, Toshiba
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 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.
If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory
card with your PC, your camcorder may not recognise the
modified file.
