Handling a memory card
We recommend that you power off before
inserting or removing the memory card to
avoid data loss.
We can not guarantee that you can use
memory cards formatted by other devices.
When you format a card, be sure to format
the memory card using this camcorder.
You must format newly-purchased
memory cards, memory cards with data
that your camcorder cannot recognize,
and cards with data 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 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.
Do not bend, drop, or subject the card to
strong impacts.
Do not place foreign substances on the
memory card terminals. Use a soft dry
cloth to clean the terminals if required.
Do not paste anything other than the label
provided with the card on the label pasting
area of the card.
Do not use a damaged memory card.
Be careful to keep the memory card out of
the reach of children, who might swallow it.

The camcorder supports SD and
SDHC memory cards, giving you a
wider choice of cards to choose from!
The data storage speed may differ,
depending on the manufacturer and
production system.
SLC (single level cell) system: faster
write speed enabled.
MLC (multi level cell) system: only
lower write speed is supported.
For best results, we recommend using a
memory card that supports a faster write
speed.
Using a lower write speed memory card
for recording video may cause difficulties
when storing.
You may even lose your video data during
the recording.
In an attempt to preserve every bit of the
recorded video, the camcorder forcibly
stores the video on the memory card and
displays a warning:
“Low speed card. Please record at a
lower resolution.”
If you are unavoidably using a low speed
memory card, the resolution and quality
of the recording may be lower than the
value you set. page 50
The higher the video resolution and
quality, the more memory the camcorder
uses.

Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including loss caused by any PC virus.
We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the
card or by static electricity.
After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
