Samsung HMX-U10EP/U100EP - Manual (Page 37)

Handling a memory card
It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.
It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. 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 recognise 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 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.
A memory card is a precision electronic media. Do not bend, drop, or cause strong impact to the card.
Do not use or store at high temperatures, in humidity or a dusty environment.
Do not bring 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 supplied with the card on the label pasting portion.
Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it.
Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse.
We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity.
After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction.

The camcorder supports SDHC/SD memory cards for data storage.
The data storage speed may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system.
Using a lower write speed memory card when recording a video may cause problems when storing the video on the
memory card. 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 lower quality."
To facilitate video recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speed.
If you are forced to use a low speed memory card, resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. However,
the higher the resolution, the more memory will be used.
For optimal performance of the camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card.

Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal firmware uses a portion of the memory.
