IMPORTANT
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing scenes (fragmented memory), it will take longer to write data
on recording media and recording may stop. Save your recordings and initialize the recording media with the
camcorder.
• About high capacity recording media You can use CF cards with a capacity of 128 GB or larger and SDXC
cards with this camcorder but such recording media are initialized using the exFAT file system.
- When using exFAT-formatted recording media with other devices (digital recorders, card readers, etc.), make
sure that the external device is compatible with exFAT. For more information on compatibility, contact the
computer, operating system or memory card manufacturer.
- If you use exFAT-formatted recording media with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be
prompted to format the memory card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.
NOTES
• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all recording media.
