- An SDHC/SD Memory Card utilises a portion of the storage space for formatting and other purposes.
- We recommend using SD Memory Cards and SDHC Memory cards conforming to class 4 or higher of the SD Speed Class Rating or the following SD Memory Cards made by Panasonic for motion picture recording.
- Please confirm the latest information about SDHC/SD Memory Cards that can be used for motion picture recording on the following website.
Camcorder information (This website is in English only.)
*1 SDHC (SD High Capacity) Memory Cards can only be used in SDHC host devices, which support the SDHC Memory Card format.
*2 1GB means 1 billion bytes. Usable capacity will be less.
*3 The data transfer rate is a theoretical value and is not a guarantee of performance. The transfer rate may vary depending on the conditions and equipment used.
*4 This card complies with SD Memory Card Physical Layer Specification Ver.3.0 (SDHC) or Ver.1.10 (SD). When using this card with SD-enabled products that comply with the specification, a speed performance of up to 20MB/sec. can be realized. When using it with SD-enabled products that comply with the conventional specification Ver. 1.01, the speed performance will be up to 10MB/sec.
