*The camcorder's operations have been tested with MiniSD memory cards up to 2 GB. Performance cannot be guaranteed for all memory cards.
**The camcorder supports Exif 2.2 (also called "Exif Print"). Exif Print is a standard for enhancing the communication between camcorders and printers. By connecting to an Exif Print-compliant printer, the camcorder?s image data at the time of shooting is used and optimized, yielding extremely high quality prints.
