Preparations 33
Using a Memory Card
Memory Cards Compatible for Use with the Camcorder
You can use the following types of commercially available Secure Digi-
tal (SD) cards with this camcorder.
As of October 2010, the movie recording function has been tested
using SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards made by Panasonic, Toshiba
and SanDisk.
* When using an SD memory card without a speed class rating, you may not be able
to record movies, depending on the memory card used.
**SD memory cards with a capacity of 64 MB or smaller cannot be used to record
movies.
NOTES
About the Speed Class: Speed Class is a standard that indicates the mini-
mum guaranteed data transfer speed of memory cards. When you buy
a new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.
We recommend using memory cards rated SD Speed Class 4, 6 or 10.
SDXC Memory Cards
You can use SDXC memory cards with this camcorder. When using
memory cards with other devices, such as digital recorders, computers
and card readers, make sure that the external device is compatible
with SDXC cards. The table below summarizes compatibility by com-
puter operating system, as of October 2010. For the latest information,
however, contact the computer, operating system or memory card
manufacturer.
Memory card type: SD memory card, SDHC memory card,
SDXC memory card
SD Speed Class*:
Capacity: 128 MB or larger**.

Compatible operating systems for SDXC memory cards
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.
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.
Operating system Compatibility
Windows 7 Compatible
Windows Vista Compatible (requires Service Pack 1 or later)
Windows XP Compatible (requires Service Pack 3 and KB955704 update)

Basic Recording
Shooting Video and Taking Photos in AUTO Mode
By default, movies and photos are recorded in the built-in memory
( only) or on memory card X ( ). You can select the mem-
ory that will be used to record movies and photos (0 36).

44 AUTO Mode
Be sure to save your recordings regularly (0 120), especially after
making important recordings. Canon shall not be liable for any loss or
corruption of data.
Photos recorded on an Eye-Fi card in memory card slot Y will be
uploaded automatically after setting the camcorder to playback mode, if
you are within the range of a configured network. Always verify that Eye-
Fi cards have been approved in the country/region of use. See also
Using an Eye-Fi card
(0 133).
NOTES
About the power saving mode: If 6 8 [Power Saving Mode] 8 [Auto
Power Off] is set to [A On], the camcorder will shut off automatically
to save power when it is powered by a battery pack and is left without
any operation for 5 minutes. Press x to turn on the camcorder.
When recording in bright places, it may be difficult to use the LCD
screen. In such cases, you can turn on the LCD backlight (0 24) or
adjust the brightness of the LCD screen with the 6 8 [LCD Bright-
ness] setting.
Under certain conditions, the Smart AUTO icon that appears on the
screen may not match the actual scene. Especially when shooting
against orange or blue backgrounds, the Sunset or one of the Blue
Skies icons may appear and the colors may not look natural. In such
case, we recommend recording in mode (0 75).
In mode, most camcorder settings will return to default values, but
the following settings will be maintained even after setting the mode
switch to .
- FUNC. panel: [Decoration], [Zoom].
- 7 menu: [AF mode], [Auto Slow Shutter].
- 8 menu: [Video Snapshot Length], [Rate Scenes (Recording)],
[Rec Media for Movies], [Recording Mode], [Rec Media for Photos].
- 6 menu: All settings.
Photos are recorded as JPG files. The photo size (1920x1080) and
quality cannot be changed. At this size, a 1 GB memory card can hold
approximately 670 photos. However, the actual number of photos that
can be recorded will vary depending on the subject and shooting condi-
tions.
AUTO Mode 45
