Using SD Cards Using SD Cards The camcorder records clips and photos on commercially available Secure Digital (SD) cards1. The camcorder has two SD card slots and you can use two SD cards (in the manual, "SD card A" and "SD card B") to record on both simultaneously or to automatically switch to the other SD card when the SD card in use is full (A 43). 29 Initialize SD cards (A 31) when you use them with this camcorder for the first time. 1 The SD card is used also to save menu settings files. Compatible SD Cards The following types of SD cards2 can be used with this camcorder. For the latest information about SD cards tested for use with this camcorder, visit your local Canon Web site. SD card type: . / 0 SD cards SDHC cards SDXC cards UHS Speed Class3: Speed Class U1 Speed Class U3 SD Speed Class3: 2 As of February 2018, the clip recording function has been tested using SD cards made by Panasonic, Toshiba and SanDisk. 3 UHS and SD Speed Class are standards that indicate the minimum guaranteed data transfer rate of SD cards. To record 4K clips with a resolution of 3840x2160 (A 42) or using slow & fast motion recording (A 44), we recommend using SD cards rated UHS Speed Class U3. IMPORTANT • After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the SD card is fragmented), you may notice slower writing speeds to the card and recording may even stop. In such case, save your recordings and initialize the card with the camcorder. Be sure to initialize SD cards especially before shooting important scenes. • About SDXC cards: You can use SDXC cards with this camcorder but SDXC cards are initialized by the camcorder using the exFAT file system. - When using exFAT-formatted cards with other devices (digital recorders, card readers, etc.), make sure that the external device is compatible with exFAT. For more information on compatibility, contact the computer, operating system or card manufacturer. - If you use exFAT-formatted cards with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be prompted to format the card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss. NOTES • Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all SD cards.
