SDXC Memory Cards

As of May 2010, SDXC memory cards have been tested to work under 
Windows 7. For details on whether your computer's operating system 
is SDXC-compatible, check with your computer's manufacturer.

IMPORTANT

• If you use an SDXC memory card with a computer OS that is not SDXC-

compatible, you may be prompted to format the memory card. In such 
case, 

cancel the operation to prevent data loss

.

• To use an SDXC memory card with external devices, such as card read-

ers or digital recorders, make sure the external device is SDXC-compat-
ible.

• Using the optional DW-100 DVD Burner, discs cannot be created from 

recordings on an SDXC memory card. To create discs using the 
DW-100, make sure in advance that your recordings are in the built-in 
memory or on an SD or SDHC memory card.
If you connect the optional DVD Burner while the index screen is show-
ing the recordings on the SDXC memory card, the DVD Burner may not 
operate correctly. In that case, disconnect the USB cable and turn off 
the DVD Burner.

• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing scenes (fragmented 

memory), it will take longer to write data on the memory and recording 
may stop. Save your recordings and initialize the memory.

Eye-Fi Cards

This product is not guaranteed to support Eye-Fi card functions 
(including wireless transfer). In case of an issue with an Eye-Fi card, 
please check with the card manufacturer.
Also note that an approval is required to use Eye-Fi cards in many 
countries or regions. Without approval, use of the card is not permit-
ted. If it is unclear whether the card has been approved for use in the 
area, please check with the card manufacturer.
