Common cautions for memory cards
• Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you back-up important recordings separately on your
PC’s hard disk.
• After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not
recognize the modified file.
Handling a memory card
• It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss.
• It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory
card using this camcorder.
• Memory cards need to be formatted on this camcorder before use.
• If you cannot use a memory card that has been previously used with another device, format it on your HD
camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card.

• Do not bend, drop, or cause a strong impact to your memory card.
