using the FAT16 or FAT32 file system.

Moreover, this unit is compatible with SD card write-protection,
so you can write-protect your cards to prevent accidental
deletion by formatting them. (See "About write-protected SD
cards" on page 24.)
When an SD card is inserted, the unit mounts the card and
enables it for use. At this time, if the inserted SD card has not
been formatted by this unit, a message appears prompting you
to format it.
If the inserted SD card has no setup file on it, a message appears
prompting you to create a setup file.
When an SD card is ejected, the unit unmounts it and then a No
Card message appears.
CAUTION
• Ejection during recording is not supported.
• Formatting cannot be undone.
NOTE
• The FAT (File Allocation Table) format is a file system format that
can be read by a computer.
• SD and SDHC cards that are at least 512MB in size can be used.
A list of SD cards that have been confirmed to work with this unit
