Using an SD Card
Inserting and Removing an SD Card
You can insert an SD card into SD card slot A or slot B. If you have two
SD cards, you can use both slots.
1 Turn off the camcorder.
2 Lift the LCD panel upwards and open the SD card compartment
cover.
3 Insert the SD card straight, with the label facing up, all the way
into the SD card slot until it clicks.
4 Close the SD card compartment cover.
• Do not force the cover closed if the SD card is not correctly inserted.
Checking the Status of the SD Card Slots
You can check the status of the SD card slots immediately by looking at
the SD card 2/SD card 3 access indicator. Refer to the following table.
Depending on the position of the LCD panel, it may be difficult to see the
SD card access indicators. In such case, adjust the position or angle of
the LCD panel as necessary.
IMPORTANT
• Observe the following precautions while either of the SD card access
indicators is illuminated in red. Failure to do so may result in permanent
data loss.
- Do not disconnect the power source or turn off the camcorder.
- Do not open the SD card compartment cover and do not remove the SD cards.
• Turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing an SD card. Inserting or removing the SD card with the
camcorder on may result in permanent data loss.
• SD cards have front and back sides that are not interchangeable. Inserting an SD card facing the wrong
direction can cause a malfunction of the camcorder. Be sure to insert the SD card as described in step 3.
