About SD card

Observe the following precautions regarding the SD cards that you use.
• You must format your SD card in the VR-5 in order to record. All data on the SD card will be lost. Refer to "Formatting an SD card" (p. 48) for
formatting procedure.
• The VR-5 supports only SD cards and SDHC cards of class 4 or higher. Be sure to use cards of class 4 or higher.
• The VR-5 is compatible with SD cards and SDHC (High Capacity) cards, but does not support SDXC (eXtended Capacity) cards.
• Operation has been tested for commonly available third-party SD cards, but operation with all SD cards is not assured. Depending on the
manufacturer and type of the SD card, correct recording may not be possible.

card, enabling protection of the data saved on the card. When you record, slide the write-protect switch to
unlock the card.

On the VR-5, you can record continuously until the file size reaches 4GB. When the file size reaches 4GB, the recording is

When 4GB limit is reached, recording stops. If you re-start recording, the re-start process records the newer material in a new file on the
