Inserting or removing an SD/SDHC card
Your camcorder has 128 MB of internal memory, approximately 70 MB of which is available for
video/photo capture. 70 MB will allow you to capture less than one minute of high definition
video or several photos, so it is strongly recommended that you insert an SD/SDHC card for
video/photo capture.
NOTE: When a memory card is inserted, your camcorder automatically stores pictures and movies on the memory
card instead of storing them in the internal memory.
To insert your SD/SDHC card:
1
2
Power off your camcorder.
Open the SD/SDHC card slot cover, then insert
the SD/SDHC card until it clicks into the slot.
Close the SD/SDHC card slot cover.

To remove your SD/SDHC card:
