Handling a memory card • It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing a memory card to avoid data loss. • It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder. • You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognize or are saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on a memory card. • If you cannot use a memory card that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on a memory card. • A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card. • A memory card is a precision electronic media. Do not bend, drop, or cause strong impact to the card. • Do not use or store at high temperatures, in humidity or a dusty environment. • Do not bring foreign substances on memory card terminals. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the terminals if required. • Do not paste anything other than the label supplied with the card on the label pasting portion. • Be careful to keep a memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it. The camcorder supports SDHC memory card for data storage. • The data storage speed may differ, depending on the manufacturer and production system. • Using a lower write speed memory card when recording a video may cause problems when storing the video on a memory card. You may even lose your video data during the recording. • In an attempt to preserve every bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on a memory card and displays a warning: "Low speed card. Please record a lower resolution." To facilitate video recording, you are recommended to use a memory card that supports faster write speed. • If you are forced to use a low speed memory card, resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. However, the higher the resolution, the more memory will be used. • For optimal performance of the camcorder, ensure that you purchase a fast speed memory card. Actual formatted capacity may be less as the internal firmware uses a portion of the memory. • Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse. • We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity. • After a period of use, a memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. English_39
