Handling a memory card
It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.

Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder.
You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot
recognize or are saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card.
If you cannot use a memory card that has been used with another device, format it with your memory camcorder.
Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.
A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card.

The memory camcorder supports SDHC and MMCplus memory cards for data storage.
The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system.
- SLC(single level cell) system: faster write speed enabled.
- MLC(multi level cell) system: only lower write speed supported.
The user using a lower write speed memory card for recording a movie may have diffi culties storing the
movie on the memory card. You can even lose your movie data during the recording.
In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded movie, the memory camcorder forcibly stores the movie
on the memory card and displays a warning: "Low speed card. Please record at lower quality."
To facilitate movie recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write
speed.
If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, it is desirable to lower the recording quality by one
level "Fine"
→
"Normal" or decrease the movie size to 352P to reduce the data size.
You can have three quality options to record a movie with the memory camcorder :
"Super Fine", "Fine", "Normal"
You can record the same scene in three quality levels of "Super Fine
"
,
"
Fine
"
,
"
Normal".
However, the better the quality is, the bigger the data size is.
For optimal performance of the memory camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.
