* The following message appears when the card is initialized. 'To record video on this memory card, it is recommended to use a video quality setting other than [60P Recording]'. However, the cards have been confirmed capable of recording until the maximum data limit is reached in the highest video quality mode (MP4:35Mbps / AVCHD:60P).
IMPORTANT SDXC Memory Cards - You can use SDXC memory cards with this camcorder. When using memory cards with other devices, such as digital recorders, computers and card readers, make sure that the external device is compatible with SDXC cards. For information about the compatibility of SDXC cards, contact the computer, operating system or memory card manufacturer.
- If you use an SDXC memory card with a computer OS that is not SDXC-compatible, you may be prompted to format the memory card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.
- After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing scenes (fragmented memory), it will take longer to write data on the memory card and recording may stop. Save your recordings and initialize the memory card.
