SD Speed Class*:
* When using an SD memory card without a speed class rating or one rated SD Speed Class 2, you may
not be able to record movies, depending on the memory card used.
NOTES
• About the Speed Class: Speed Class is a standard that indicates the minimum guaranteed data
transfer speed of memory cards. When you buy a new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo
on the package.
To record movies using a recording mode with a video quality of 28 Mbps or 35 Mbps, we
recommend using memory cards rated SD Speed Class 6 or 10. To record movies using slow & fast
motion, we recommend using memory cards rated SD Speed Class 10.
SDXC Memory Cards
You can use SDXC memory cards with this camcorder. When using memory cards with other devices,
such as digital recorders, computers and card readers, make sure that the external device is
compatible with SDXC cards. For information about the compatibility of SDXC cards, contact the
computer, operating system or memory card manufacturer.
IMPORTANT
• If you use an SDXC memory card with a computer OS that is not SDXC-compatible, you may be
prompted to format the memory card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the memory is fragmented), you may notice
slower writing speeds to the recording media and recording may even stop. In such case, save your
recordings and initialize the recording media with the camera (using the [Complete Initialization]
option). Be sure to initialize recording media especially before shooting important scenes.
