* The camcorder’s operations have been tested with SD memory cards up to 2 GB. Performance cannot be guaranteed
for all memory cards.
** The camcorder supports Exif 2.2 (also called “Exif Print”). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication
between camcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camcorder’s image data at the
time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.
