• When the camcorder operates with 4MB/s (Class 4) or above memory cards, it can be stable. Terminals Usable memory card (1GB~32GB) Terminals Micro SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards • A micro SDHC card is a higher version (Ver. 2.00) of the micro SD card and supports capacities above 4GB. • Use micro SD cards only with micro SD enabled host devices. Handling a memory card • Damaged data may not be recoverable. We recommend you make a backup 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. • If you modify the name of a file or folder stored in the memory card with your PC, your product may not recognise the modified file. • The micro memory card does not support any data recovery mode. Therefore, care should be taken in case the memory card is damaged while recording. • We recommend that you power off the product before inserting or removing the memory card to avoid data loss. • Make sure to format the memory card on this product. If the memory card had been formatted by a PC or other device, using it on this product without reformatting may cause recording and/or playback failure. Samsung is not responsible for damage to recorded contents caused by incompatible formatting. • You have to format newly-purchased memory cards, memory cards with data that your product cannot recognise or with data saved by other devices. Note that formatting erases all data on the memory card and deleted data cannot be recovered. • 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 subject the card to strong impacts. • 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 the label provided with the card on the label pasting area of the card. • Do not use a damaged memory card. • Be careful to keep the memory card out of the reach of children, who might swallow it. Getting ready to start recording This product supports micro SD and micro SDHC memory cards, giving you a wider choice of cards! The data storage speed may differ, depending on 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 a 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 every bit of the recorded video, the product 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, the resolution of the recording may be lower than the set value. ..page 47 The higher the resolution and quality, the more memory the product uses. Using the memory card adaptor This product uses micro SD/micro SDHC memory cards. To use a micro SD/micro SDHC directly with a computer or a card reader you must attach it to or insert it into an adaptor. • Samsung is not responsible for data loss due to misuse, including loss caused by any PC virus. • We recommend using a memory card case to avoid data loss that can be caused by moving the card or by static electricity. • After a period of use, the memory card may get warm. This is normal and is not a malfunction. Getting ready to start recording RECORDABLE TIME AND CAPACITY Listed below are the available video recording times and the number of photos the product can take, by card memory size and resolution.

Accordingly, the recording time may vary. • Memory cards bigger than 32GB may not operate normally. • The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. • The maximum number of recordable photo and video files is 9,999 respectively.
