Using an SD Card
SD Cards Compatible for Use with the Camcorder
You can use the following types of commercially available Secure Digital (SD) cards with this camcorder. The
camcorder is equipped with two SD card slots. Initialize SD cards (A 40) when you use them with this
camcorder for the first time.
As of October 2012, the video recording function has been tested using SD/SDHC/SDXC cards made by
Panasonic, Toshiba and SanDisk.
* When using an SD card without a speed class rating or one rated SD Speed Class 2, you may not be able to record video,
depending on the card used.
**SD cards with a capacity of 64 MB or smaller cannot be used to record video.
IMPORTANT
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (fragmented memory), it will take longer to write data on
the SD card and recording may stop. Save your recordings and initialize the SD card using the camcorder.
NOTES
• About the Speed Class: Speed Class is a standard that indicates the minimum guaranteed data transfer
speed of SD cards. When you buy a new SD card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.
We recommend using SD cards rated SD Speed Class 4, 6 or 10.
SDXC Cards
You can use SDXC cards with this camcorder. When using SDXC cards with other devices, such as digital
recorders, computers and card readers, make sure that the external device is compatible with SDXC cards.
The table below summarizes compatibility by computer operating system, as of October 2012. For the latest
information, however, contact the computer, operating system or card manufacturer.
