Before Using
While the Camcorder is accessing the Card (reading,
recording, playback or erasing), the Card Access
Lamp lights up.
• While the Card Access Lamp is on, never attempt
to open the Card Slot Cover, to pull out the Card,
to turn off the Camcorder, or to turn the Mode Dial.
Such actions will damage the Card, and recorded
data, and cause the Camcorder to malfunction.

Concerning the Card
• Do not touch the terminals on the back of the
card.
• Do not format the card with another Camcorder or
any personal computer. This operation may make
the card unusable.
• Electrical noise, static electricity, or failure of the
Camcorder or the card may damage or erase the
data stored on the card. We recommend saving
important data on a personal computer by using
a USB Cable, PC Card Adaptor, or USB Reader/
Writer.
SD Memory Card
• The memory capacity indicated on the SD
Memory Card label corresponds to the total
amount of capacity to protect and manage
the copyright and the capacity available as
conventional memory for a Camcorder, personal
computer or other equipment.
