Using SD Cards
Using SD Cards
The camcorder records clips and photos on commercially available Secure Digital (SD) cards*. The camcorder
has two SD card slots and you can use two SD cards to record on both simultaneously or to automatically
switch to the other SD card when the SD card in use is full (A 36).
Initialize SD cards (A 35) when you use them with this camcorder for the first time.
* The SD card is used also to save custom picture files and menu settings files.
Compatible SD Cards
The following types of SD card

can be used with this camcorder. For the latest information about SD cards

UHS and SD Speed Class are standards that indicate the minimum guaranteed data transfer rate of SD cards.
3
In the following cases, the use of SD cards rated UHS Speed Class U3 is recommended:
- When > [3 ! Recording/Media Setup] > [Rec Format] is set to [XF-HEVC] and [Resolution/Color Sampling] is set
to [3840x2160 YCC422 10 bit].
- When slow motion recording is activated.
IMPORTANT
• After repeatedly recording, deleting and editing clips (if the memory is fragmented), you may notice slower
writing speeds to the card and recording may even stop. In such case, save your recordings and initialize the
card with the camcorder. Be sure to initialize cards especially before shooting important scenes.
• About SDXC cards: You can use SDXC cards with this camcorder but SDXC cards are initialized by the
camcorder using the exFAT file system.
- When using exFAT-formatted cards 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 card manufacturer.
- If you use exFAT-formatted cards with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be prompted
to format the card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.
NOTES
• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all SD cards.
