Preparing Recording Media

The camcorder records clips to

CompactFlash (CF) cards and

photos* to

SD and

SDHC memory cards. The camcorder is

equipped with two CF card slots. Initialize recording media (0 41) when
you use them with this camcorder for the first time.

* The camcorder can record custom picture settings and camera settings on to an

SD card. To record a user memo with a clip, use the supplied Canon XF Utility
software to a create user memo file and save it to the SD card. The camcorder
can read the file and embed it in the clip.

Compatible CF cards

You can use UDMA-compatible* Type I CF cards with a capacity of at
least 512 MB with the camcorder. For more details, visit your local Canon
Web site.

* The Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) specification allows data to be

transferred between the CF card and device at high transfer speeds (measured in
MBps). Depending on the CF card, you may not be able to record even when
using a UDMA-compatible CF card.

NOTES

• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all CF cards.

You can insert a CF card into CF card slot A or slot B. If you have two CF
cards, you can use both slots.

(slot B).

into the slot (

3 Close the CF card slot cover (
