 Adjustments and Settings for Recording
An SD memory card (optional accessory) can be used as
a setup card that stores up to eight files of settings menu
specifications. 
This data allows you to quickly reproduce an optimum
state.
Regarding SD memory cards, please see  (page 22).
An SD memory card may be inserted or removed, either before or after the power is turned on.
Open the lid of the switch cover, and insert an SD memory
card (optional accessory) into the SD memory card slot
with the notch upward. Close the lid.
‹Note
An SD memory card must be inserted with the right side
facing the slot. If the card is hard to insert, it may be
reversed or upside down. Do not force it into the slot.
Check the card before re-inserting it. Open the lid of the switch cover, and ensure that the BUSY
lamp is not illuminated. Then, further depress the SD
memory card towards the main unit. This releases the SD
memory card from the insertion slot. Take hold of the SD
memory card and remove it. Close the lid.
SD memory cards must not be used or stored in an 
environment where they may be
zExposed to high temperatures/humidities;
zExposed to water droplets; or
zElectrically charged. 
For storage, the SD memory card must be kept inserted
into the unit with the lid closed. 
To format an SD memory card, write settings data or read
data on an SD memory card, navigate the menu to the
 screen from the FILE page.If an SD memory card that is formatted in a standard other
