Solution

You can use commercially available Secure Digital (SD) cards with this camcorder. However, depending on the memory card, you may not be able to record movies. Refer to the table below.

We recommend using memory cards with a Speed Class 4, 6 or 10.

Memory card	Capacity	SD Speed Class	Recording movies
SD memory cards	128 MB or more	Not listed	Yes (*2)
SD memory cards	128 MB or more	Class 2 / Class 4 / Class 6 / Class 10	Yes
SDHC memory cards	Over 2 GB	Class 2 / Class 4 / Class 6 / Class 10	Yes
SDXC memory cards (*1)	Over 32 GB	Class 4 / Class 6 / Class 10	Yes

*1: If you wish to use SDXC memory cards, you need to update the firmware of your video products. Please download the new firmware from Canon’s download pages to update the firmware of your video products.

The movie recording function has been tested also using SDXC memory cards made by Panasonic and Toshiba.

*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/SDXC memory cards. When you buy a new memory card, look for the Speed Class logo on the package.
