Solution

You can use commercially available SDHC (SD high capacity) memory cards and SD memory cards with this camcorder. However, depending on its Speed Class, you may not be able to record movies on the memory card. Refer to the table below.

We recommend using memory cards with a Speed Class 4 or 6.

Memory card	Capacity	SD Speed Class	Recording movies
SD memory cards	64 MB or less	Not applicable	No
	128 MB or more	Not listed	Yes (1) (2)
		Class 2	Yes (*1)
		Class 4 / Class 6	Yes
SDHC memory cards	Over 2 GB	Class 2	Yes (*1)
		Class 4 / Class 6	Yes
		Class 10	Yes (*2)

*1 : Movies cannot be recorded when the recording mode is set to MXP (24 Mbps) or FXP (17 Mbps).

*2 : Depending on the memory card used, it may not be possible to record movies.

NOTE

About the SD Speed Class:

The SD Speed Class is a standard that indicates the minimum guaranteed data transfer speed of SD/SDHC memory cards. When you buy a new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.
