How much memory is needed for 1 hour of
Full HD recording?
‡ The camcorder uses 4GB on average
for 1 hour of Full HD video. For a more
complex video recording (e.g. with lots of
motions in the video, or a lot of panning),
the camcorder will use more memory. This
is done to maintain the video quality, but
will increase the usage of memory.
Why do I have no access to folders on the

correct.

15 minutes after it is connected to a
computer. You can press to turn it on
