NOTES
• About SDHC Memory Cards: SDHC is the
new type of SD memory card with
capacities over 2 GB. Please note that
the specifications of SDHC memory
cards are different from those of regular
SD memory cards and you will not be
able to use memory cards of over 2 GB
with devices that do not support SDHC.
However, SDHC devices (including this
camcorder) are backward compatible
and support regular SD memory cards.
• About the SD Speed Class: The SD Speed
Class is a standard that indicates the
minimum guaranteed data transfer
speed of SD/SDHC memory cards.
When you buy a new memory card, look
for the Speed Class logo on the
package.
