audio is recorded in Dolby Digital or linear PCM.

• SD memory cards can only be used with the system frequency set at the time of formatting.

• AVCHD video can only be used with AVCHD compatible devices. For details, refer to the operating instructions for your device.

croSDXC memory card will not operate normally when in AVCHD play-
back mode, even if the dedicated adapter is attached.
