Common cautions for memory cards

•  Damaged data may not be recovered. It is recommended you back-up important recordings separately on your 

PC’s hard disk.

•  After you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card using your PC, your camcorder may not 

recognize 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.

•  Memory cards need to be formatted on this camcorder before use.

•  If you cannot use a memory card that has been previously used with another device, format it on your HD 

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 a strong impact to your memory card.

•  Do not use or store in a place that has high temperature and humidity or a dusty environment.

•  Do not place foreign substances on the memory card terminals. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the terminals if 

required.

•  Do not put any additional labels on the memory card.

•  Be careful to keep memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it.

Note 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.
