For details on how to add the downloaded images to the memory card, refer to
“Adding Still Images from Your Computer to the Memory Card” in the DIGITAL

* If you are unable to connect the camcorder to a PC using a USB cable, you will
need a PC Card Adapter or USB Card
Reader

memory card.
• If you purchase additional memory cards, format them with the camcorder, not
a PC or other device. There have been cases where memory cards formatted
with a PC or other device do not function properly.
• We recommend saving backups of memory card images on your PC’s hard
drive or other external memory device. Image data may be damaged or lost due
to a defect in a memory card, or if a memory card is exposed to static
electricity. Contents of a memory card cannot be compensated for should data
become damaged or lost.
• Do not turn off the camcorder, disconnect the power source or remove the
memory card while the card access indicator is flashing.
• Do not use memory cards in places subject to strong magnetic fields.
