Using a Memory Card
Memory Cards Compatible for Use with the Camcorder
You can use commercially available
SDHC (SD high capacity)
memory cards and
SD memory cards with this camcorder. How-
ever, depending on its Speed Class, you may not be able to record
movies on the memory card. Refer to the table below.
As of December 2008, the movie recording function has been tested
using SD/SDHC memory cards made by Panasonic, Toshiba and
SanDisk.
We recommend using memory cards with a Speed Class 4 or higher.
1
Movies cannot be recorded when the recording mode is set to MXP (24 Mbps) or
FXP (17 Mbps).
2
Depending on the memory card used, it may not be possible to record movies.

About the SD Speed Class:
The SD Speed Class is a standard that indicates the minimum guaran-
teed data transfer speed of SD/SDHC memory cards. When you buy a
new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.
