Using a Memory Card
Recommended Memory Cards
You can use commercially available
SDHC (SD high capacity) memory
cards and
SD memory cards with
this camcorder. However, depending on
its Speed Class, you may not be able to
record movies on the memory card.
Refer to the table below.
As of January 2008, the movie
recording function has been tested
using SD/SDHC memory cards made
by Panasonic, SanDisk and Toshiba.
We recommend using memory cards
with a Speed Class 4 or higher.
