Inserting a Memory Card
Use an SD/SDHC memory card to expand your digital video camera’s avail­able memory. The CAM4505 can accom­modate memory cards of up to 16GB. Install a memory card by insert­ing it gently into the SD card slot on the leftside of the video camera.
To remove the memory card, press it further into the card slot and then release. The card should automatically eject from the slot. Grasp it by the edge and pull gently to fully remove.
To avoid data corruption, turn off the
digital video camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
Do not attempt to place any object
other than an SD memory card into the SD card slot. A compatible memory card should slide easily into the SD card slot; if you encounter resistance, do not attempt to force the card in.
For information on formatting a memory
card, please see the “Setting the System Options” section of this manual.
