Handling a memory card
It is recommended that you power off
before inserting or removing the memory
card to avoid data loss.
It is not guaranteed that you can use a
memory card formatted by other devices.
Be sure to format your memory card using
this camcorder.
You have to format newly-purchased
memory cards, memory cards with data that
your camcorder cannot recognise or are
saved by other devices. Note that formatting
erases all data on the memory card.
If you cannot use a memory card that has
been used with another device, format it
with your camcorder. Note that formatting
erases all information on the memory card.
A memory card has a certain life span. If
you cannot record new data, you have to
purchase a new memory card.
Do not bend, drop, or cause strong impact
to the card.
Do not place foreign substances on the
memory card terminals. Use a soft dry
cloth to clean the terminals if required.
Do not paste anything other than label
provided with the card on the label pasting
section.
Do not use the damaged memory card.
Be careful to keep the memory card out of
the reach of children, who might swallow it.

The camcorder supports SD and
SDHC memory cards for data storage
preference!
The data storage speed may differ,
according to the manufacturer and
production system.
SLC (single level cell) system: faster
write speed enabled.
MLC (multi level cell) system: only
lower write speed is supported.
For best results, we recommend using a
memory card that supports faster write
speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card
for recording video may cause difficulties
when storing.
You may even lose your video data during
the recording.
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the
recorded video, the camcorder forcibly
stores the video on the memory card and
displays a warning:
“Low speed card. Please record at a
lower resolution.”
If you are unavoidably using a low speed
memory card, resolution and quality of
the recording may be lower than the set
value.

The higher the resolution and quality, the
more memory will be used.

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
