Setting Data Using an SD memory card

By saving up to four files of setup menu settings on an
SD or SDHC memory card (optional accessory), you can
create a setup card that will allow you to quickly configure
camera settings before recording.

Handling SD memory cards

An SD memory card may be inserted or removed, either
before or after the power is turned on.

To insert an SD memory card

Open the slot cover, insert the SD memory card (optional
accessory) in the slot with the label side of the card facing
upwards and close the slot cover.

NOTE

• An SD memory card must be inserted with the right side

facing the slot. If the card cannot be inserted, it may the
wrong side up or back-to-front. Do not force it into the slot.
Check the card before reinserting it.

• Use only SD memory cards that conform to the SD standard

or the SDHC standard in this camera.

Be sure to read [SD memory card precautions] (page 21)
regarding SD memory handling.

To remove the SD memory card

Open the slot cover and make sure that the BUSY lamp is
not on before pushing the SD memory card further into the
slot and releasing it. This will cause the SD memory card to
pop out of the slot. Remove the SD memory card and close
the slot cover.

SD memory cards must not be used or stored
in an environment where they may be

• Exposed to high temperatures/humidities;
• Exposed to water droplets; or
• Electrically charged.
For storage, the SD memory card must be kept inserted
into the AG-HPX300P with the lid closed.
