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

 Turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing the memory card. Otherwise, it may result in
lost data.
 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 (SD High Capacity) is the new type of SD memory cards 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.
