Preparing Recording Media
Preparing Recording Media The camcorder records clips to CompactFlash (CF) cards and
photos* to SD and SDHC memory cards. The camcorder is
equipped with two CF card slots. Initialize recording media (0 39) when
you use them with this camcorder for the first time.
* The camcorder can record custom picture settings and camera settings on to an
SD card. To record a user memo with a clip, use the supplied Canon XF Utility
software to a create user memo file and save it to the SD card. The camcorder
can read the file and embed it in the clip.
Compatible CF cards
You can use UDMA-compatible* Type I CF cards with a capacity of at
least 512 MB with the camcorder. For more details, visit your local Canon
Web site.
* The Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) specification allows data to be
transferred between the CF card and device at high transfer speeds (measured in
MBps). Depending on the CF card, you may not be able to record even when
using a UDMA-comptaible CF card.
NOTES
• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all CF cards.
