slot cover down to open the cover.

up into the memory card slot.

terminal side straight
forward as shown in
the picture, until you

You may damage the memory card or its
contents, or cause the camera to fail to operate
correctly.

• Always format memory cards that have been
used on other devices when rst using them
with this camera. (Page 13)
• If [CHECK CARD.] (check the memory card.)
is displayed on the viewnder or LCD monitor,
remove the memory card and reinsert it.
• Images shot from the start of shooting until it is
stopped, are recorded as one clip.
• When recording is paused after a short
recording, time may be required after pressing
the <START/STOP> button before writing to
the memory card is completed. This means
that if the <START/STOP> button is pressed,
operations cannot be accepted immediately.
• The camera reads information from the
memory card immediately after the memory
card is inserted, therefore, after [PAUSE]
is displayed in the operation status display
(Page 76), press the <START/STOP> button to
start shooting.
• The recording formats of factory default are
[SYSTEM FREQ] = [59.94Hz]*, [PH 1080/60i]
in AVCHD mode, and [DV 480/60i] in DV
mode. To check current setting status, see
“Checking and displaying shooting status”
(Page 25).
• The upper limit for the number of clips that
can be recorded in AVCHD mode on a
single memory card is 900. (However, this
number may exceed 900 clips when shooting
immediately after the POWER/MODE switch
has been turned <ON>.)
The upper limit for the number of clips that can
be recorded in DV mode is 900.
* The factory setting values may vary depending on
the region.
