Using Memory Cards This camcorder records audio and video on memory cards (sold separately) inserted in the memory card slots. About memory cards Supported memory cards The following memory cards are supported. For details about recording media and compatible formats, see page 127. SDXC memory cards (Class 10) • A memory card removed from the camcorder after recording ended may be hot. This is not a malfunction. Switching between memory cards When memory cards are loaded in both card slots A and B, you can switch the card used for recording by pressing the SLOT SELECT button (page 10). If a card becomes full during recording, the camcorder automatically switches to the other card. Note • The SLOT SELECT button is disabled during playback. The memory cards are not switched even if you press the button. The button is enabled while the thumbnail screen (page 69) is displayed. Inserting memory cards 1 Open the cover of the card slot block. 2 Insert the memory card with the label facing to the right. The access lamp (page 10) lights in red, then changes to green once the memory card is ready for use. 3 Close the cover. Note • The memory card, memory card slot, and image data on the memory card may be damaged if the card is forced into the slot in the incorrect orientation. Removing a memory card 1 Open the cover of the card slot block, and lightly press the memory card in. The memory card pops out. During recording, this will stop the recording. 2 Remove the memory card. Notes • If the camcorder is turned off or the memory card is removed while the memory card is being accessed, the integrity of data on the card cannot be guaranteed. All data recorded on the card may be discarded. Always make sure the access indicator is green or off before turning off the camcorder or removing the memory card. Formatting (initializing) a memory card Memory cards must be formatted the first time they are used in the camcorder. Memory cards for use in the camcorder should be formatted using the format function of the camcorder. If a message appears when the memory card is inserted into the camcorder, format the memory card. If a memory card that was formatted in a format unsupported by this camcorder is inserted, the message "Unsupported File System" is displayed on the LCD/viewfinder screen. Format the media as described below. To execute formatting Using Format Media (page 104) in the Media menu, specify Media(A) (slot A) or Media(B) (slot B), then select Execute. A message is displayed while formatting is in progress, and the access indicator is lit red. When formatting ends, a completion message appears. Note • Formatting a memory card erases all data on the card, including protected video. The data cannot be restored. To use media formatted on the camcorder in the slot of another device Make a backup of the media, then format it using the other device. 24
