Step 6: Preparing the recording media
Types of memory cards you can use in
your camcorder

Notes
• Operation with all memory cards is not assured.
• Only “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media, which
is half the size of standard “Memory Stick”
media, or “Memory Stick XC-HG Duo” media,
or standard size SD cards can be used with this
camcorder.
• See page 114 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.
• If you insert a memory card into the slot in the
wrong direction, the memory card, the memory
card slot, or image data may be damaged.
• Memory card slot A accepts either “Memory
Stick PRO Duo” media or an SD card. Memory
card slot B accepts an SD card only.
To eject the memory card
Lightly push the memory card once.

careful of the memory card popping out and
dropping.
