Common cautions for memory cards • Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you make a back-up of important data separately on the hard disk of your PC. • Turning the power off or removing a memory card during an operation such as formatting, deleting, recording, and playback may cause data loss. • After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not recognise the modified file. Handling a memory card • It is recommended that you power off before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss. • It is not guaranteed that you can use a memory card formatted by other devices. Be sure to format your memory card using this camcorder. • You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your camcorder cannot recognise or are saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card. 29 getting ready to start recording If you cannot use a memory card that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder. Note that formatting erases all information on the memory card. A memory card has a certain life span. If you cannot record new data, you have to purchase a new memory card. Do not bend, drop, or cause strong Impact to the card. Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if required. Do not paste anything other than label provided with the card on the label pasting section. Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it. Notes on use Samsung Is not responsible for data loss due to misuse. We recommend using a memory card case to avoid losing data from moving and static electricity. After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. The camcorder supports SD and SDHC memory cards for data storage preference! The data storage speed may differ, according to the manufacturer and production system. • SLC (single level cell) system: faster write speed enabled. • MLC (multi level cell) system: only lower write speed is supported. For best results, we recommend using a memory card that supports faster write speed. Using a lower write speed memory card for recording video may cause difficulties when storing. You may even lose your video data during the recording. In an attempt to preserve any bit of the recorded video, the camcorder forcibly stores the video on the memory card and displays a warning: “Low speed card. Please record at a lower resolution.” If you are unavoidably using a low speed memory card, resolution and quality of the recording may be lower than the set value. ^page 54 The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory will be used. 30 RECORDABLE TIME AND CAPACITY | Recordable time available for video Resolution Quality Storage media (Capacity) 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB [HD]10B0/50i* Super Fine Bmin 15min 30min 61min 125min 253min Fine* 9min 1Bmin 36min 74min 152min 307min Normal 12min 23min 46min 94min 193min 390min [HD]720/50p Super Fine 11min 21min 42min B6min 177min 357min Fine* 14min 2Bmin 57min 115min 235min 475min Normal 21min 42min B4min 171min 351min 70Bmin [SD]576/50p Super Fine 32min 63min 126min 254min 521min 1051min Fine* 42min B3min 166min 336min 6BBmin 13B7min Normal 6...
