Common cautions for memory cards
• Damaged data may not be recovered.
We recommend you make a back-up of
important data separately on the hard disk
of your PC.
• Turning the power off or removing a
memory card during an operation such
as formatting, deleting, recording, and
playback may cause data loss.
• After you modify the name of a file or folder
stored in the memory card using your PC,
your camcorder may not recognise the
modified file.
Handling a memory card
• We recommend you turn the camcorder
off before inserting or removing the
memory card to avoid data loss.
• We can not guaranteed 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 recognise,
and cards with data saved by other
devices. Note that formatting erases all
data on the memory card.
