* The camcorder's operations have been tested with SD memory cards up to 2GB. Performance cannot be
guaranteed for all memory cards.
** This camcorder supports Exif 2.2 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the
communication between camcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the
camcorder’s image data at the time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality
prints.
