Getting started
To eject the memory card

Open the cover and lightly push the memory card in once.

Notes
To ensure stable operation of the memory card, it is recommended to format the memory card with your
camcorder before the first use (p. 52). Formatting the memory card will erase all the data stored on it and
the data will be irrecoverable. Save your important data on your PC, etc.
If [Failed to create a new Image Database File. It may be possible that there is not enough free space.] is
displayed, format the memory card (p. 52).
Confirm the direction of the memory card. If you forcibly insert the memory card in the wrong direction,
the memory card, memory card slot, or image data may be damaged.
When inserting or ejecting the memory card, be careful so that the memory card does not pop out and
drop.
