*Including miniSD Card and microSD Card

When using from 4 GB to 16 GB SD cards, only SD cards that display the SDHC logo can be used.

This unit is compatible with SD Memory Cards that meet SD Card Specifications FAT 12 and FAT 16 formats, as well as SDHC Memory Cards in FAT 32 format.

In this owner’s manual, the cards shown in the table (] left) are comprehensively called SD cards.

A miniSD Card and a microSD Card must be used with the attached

adaptor that comes with the card.

• Usable memory is slightly less than the card capacity.

• If the SD card is formatted on a PC, you may not be able to use it on this unit.

• Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

• When a card recorded in the AVCHD format is being played, the video may be paused for a few seconds at portions spliced, due to deletion or edition.

Switch the write-protect switch to the “LOCK” position to protect the content from accidental erasure.
