

If you use memory cards other than the supplied one, make sure to initialize them with the 
camcorder (

127).



Turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing a memory card. Inserting/removing the 
memory card with the camcorder on may result in permanent data loss.



SDHC and SD memory cards have a write-protect switch to prevent their accidental erasure. 
When this switch is set to the LOCK position, images cannot be recorded on or deleted from the 
memory card.



Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all memory cards.

About SDHC Memory Cards:

 SDHC is the new type of SD memory card with capacities over 

2 GB. Please note that the specifications of SDHC memory cards are different from those of 
regular SD cards and you will not be able to use memory cards of over 2 GB with devices that do 
not support SDHC. However, SDHC devices (including this camcorder) are backward compatible 
and you can use regular SD cards with them.
