IMPORTANT
• Turn off the camcorder before inserting or removing a card. Inserting or removing a card with the camcorder
on may result in permanent data loss.
• SD cards have front and back sides that are not interchangeable. Inserting a card facing the wrong direction
can cause a malfunction of the camcorder. Be sure to insert the card as described in step 3.
NOTES
• SD cards have a physical switch to prevent writing on the card so as to avoid the accidental erasure of the
card's content. To write-protect the SD card, set the switch to the LOCK or C position.
