When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a reading/writing speed (required card performance) shown in the table or higher than the standard specification. Test the card by taking a few movies in the desired quality and make sure the card can properly record the movie.

Movie Recording Quality	CF Card	CFast Card
	-	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 100 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 100 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	UDMA7 60 MB/sec. or faster	CFast 2.0
	30 MB/sec. or faster
	30 MB/sec. or faster
	10 MB/sec. or faster
	10 MB/sec. or faster

If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
To check the card's reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer's Web site.
To optimize the use of the card, formatting the card with the camera before shooting movies is recommended.
When movies cannot be recorded normally, format the card and try again. If formatting the card does not resolve the problem, refer to the card manufacturer's Web site.

IMPORTANT

This camera does not come with a memory card. Please purchase it separately.
If the card is new or was previously formatted (initialized) by another camera or computer, format the card with this camera.
