- The following recording media have been recommended for use with this camcorder.

If other media are used, they may fail to record data correctly, or they may lose data that has already been recorded.
For video recording, use a memory card that supports faster write speed (at least 2MB/sec).
SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) Memory Card
The SDHC card is a higher version (Ver.2.00) SD card and supports capacity above 2GB.
An SDHC card has a mechanical write protection switch. Setting the switch prevents accidental erasure of fi les
recorded on the card. To enable writing, move the switch up towards terminals. To set write protection, move the
switch down.
Due to changes In File Allocation System and physical specifi cations, SDHC memory cards can not be used with
current SD enabled host devices. SDHC memory cards can only be used with only SDHC enabled host devices.
Cautions for memory card
Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you make a back-up of important data on the hard disk
of your PC.
Turning the power off or removing a memory card during operations such as formatting, deleting, recording, and
playback may cause data loss.
After you modify the name of a fi le or folder stored in a memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not
recognize the modifi ed fi le.
