• Electrical noise, static electricity, or failure of the
Camcorder or the card may damage or erase
the data stored on the card. We recommend
saving important data on a personal computer by
using a USB Cable, PC Card Adaptor, and USB
Reader/Writer.

• The memory capacity indicated on the SD
Memory Card label corresponds to the total
amount of capacity to protect and manage
the copyright and the capacity available as
conventional memory for a Camcorder, personal
computer or other equipment.

recording, playback or erasing), the Card Access
Lamp lights up.
