memory card instead of storing them in the internal memory.

card pointing toward the slot and the card label facing up.  
To remove an installed memory card:  
1 Push in on the memory card. The card pops out slightly.

These are the camcorder’s default settings:  
Video Format: HD (1440x1080p, 30 fps). This is the highest quality  
video setting that your camcorder offers. It can be switched to SD  
(640x480p, 30fps) mode, if desired. SD mode is preferable when  
the movies captured will only be watched on a standard definition  
TV. SD mode also uses less memory than HD mode.  
Stabilization: Off. Image stabilization is ideal for reducing  
blurred images that may be caused by shaky hands or low light  
conditions. Turn off when using a tripod.  
Sounds: On. When sounds are turned on, a sound will be played  
each time a key function is accessed.  
Simple Mode: On. Turn off Simple Mode to access advanced  
settings. Default advanced settings are as follows:

scrolling help text at the bottom of the screen. To view the help text, highlight any
