Twin SDHC Card Slots with 

Continuous Recording

With the advent of high 

capacity, affordable memory cards, extended 

shooting times have become a reality. The 

GY-HM100U goes a step further with twin 

SDHC card slots and the ability to shoot 

continuously from the first card to the second. 

No breaks in the recording, no momentary 

dropout—just one seamless take as the 

camcorder automatically switches to the 

second card when the first one is full. Further 

benefits of having two card slots include being 

able to make effective use of lower capacity 

cards, being able to hot-swap out the first card 

for editing while still shooting to the second, 

and the flexibility of scene-by-scene card 

selection.

SDHC media offers the best combination of 

price, availability, capacity, reliability and 

transfer speed. With no moving parts and no 

pins or other extrusions, SDHC cards are both 

durable and reliable, and compare favorably 

with tape on a cost-per-minute basis.

Dual Format Recording 

(QuickTime™ for FCP™/MP4)

Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file 

format, the GY-HM100U is the perfect choice for 

users of Apple’s popular Final Cut Pro™ editing 

system. The MOV files recorded by the camcorder 

can be dragged directly into Final Cut Pro™, 

keeping them first-generation and eliminating the 

time-consuming process of file conversion. You’ll 

spend less time preparing the files for editing, and 

more time letting your creativity get to work.

For users of other NLE systems, including 

solutions from Adobe, Avid and Canopus, the 

GY-HM100U also supports the MP4 file format. 

These files too can be brought into your editing 

system without re-encoding.
