Setting Data Using an SD memory card
An SD memory card (optional accessory) can be used
as a setup card that stores up to eight files of settings
menu specifications.
Use of this data speeds up the process of reproducing
suitable setup statuses.
OThe SD memory cards used with this unit do not
comply with the SD standards.  Do not use the SD
memory cards formatted with other camera-
recorders.
SD memory cards that have been formatted on
personal computers (NTFS, FAT32) cannot be
used with this unit.  They also may not be formatted
on this unit.
SD memory cards with the following capacity (8 MB
- 512 MB) can be used for the unit:

the SD memory card.

Take care not to touch the connector on the edge of
the SD memory card directly.

the SD memory card into the SD memory card slot,
and close the cover.

Check that the surface bearing the logo is facing you
and the lettering is not upside down before inserting
the card.
When inserting the card, check the direction in which
the card is pointing, and if it does not slide neatly into
place, it means that the card may be pointing in the
wrong direction or that it may be upside down.  Do not
force the card into place but check which is the front
and back and which is the top and bottom, and try
inserting the card again.Bear in mind the following points when using
and saving the SD memory cards.
OAvoid high temperatures and high humidity levels.
OKeep the cards away from water.
OAvoid exposing the cards to electrical charges.
