• “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, half the size
of “Memory Stick” media, or standard size SD
cards can be used for this camcorder.
• Use an SD card of Class 4 or faster. For standard
image quality (DV) recording, use an SD card of
Class 6 or faster, or an SD card of Class 10 or
faster.
• During the standard image quality (DV), images
cannot be recorded on “Memory Stick PRO
Duo” media.
• Do not attach a label or the like on memory card
or memory card adaptor. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
• See page 93 for the recordable time of memory
cards.
• Movies recorded on “Memory Stick XC-HG
Duo” media or SDXC memory cards can be
imported to or played back on other equipment,
such as a computer or A/V device, by
connecting the camcorder to the equipment with
the USB cable. However, the equipment must
support the exFAT file system used for
“Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media and SDXC
memory cards. Confirm in advance that the
connecting equipment is supporting the exFAT
file system. If you connect equipment not
supporting the exFAT file system and the
format screen appears, do not perform the
format. All the data recorded will be lost.
Open the cover, and insert the
memory card with the notched edge
in the direction as illustrated until it
clicks into place.

wrong direction, the memory card, the memory
card slot, or image data may be damaged.
