Step 5: Preparing the recording media
Supported memory cards
b
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 standard size SD cards can be used
with this camcorder.
• See page 103 for the recording time of memory
cards.
• Movies recorded on 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
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 a memory card
Lightly push the memory card once.

Notes
• If “The image database file is corrupted. The
media must be restored to use again.” appears,
format the memory card (p. 70).
• When inserting or ejecting the memory card, be
careful of the memory card popping out and
dropping.
