Preparing Recording Media

The camcorder records clips to CompactFlash (CF) cards and photos* to SD and SDHC memory

cards. The camcorder is equipped with two CF card slots. Initialize recording media (0 36) when you use them

with this camcorder for the first time.

* The camcorder can record custom picture settings (0 98) and camera settings (0 106) on to an SD card. To record a user

memo (0 79) with a clip, use the Canon XF Utility software (0 128) to a create user memo file and save it to the SD card. The

camcorder can read the file and embed it in the clip.

Compatible CF cards

You can use UDMA-compatible* Type I CF cards with a capacity of at least 512 MB with the camcorder. For

more details on cards that can be used, visit your local Canon Web site.

* The Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) specification allows data to be transferred between the CF card and device at high

transfer speeds (measured in MBps). Depending on the CF card, you may not be able to record even when using a UDMA-

comptaible CF card.

IMPORTANT

• About high capacity CF cards You can use CF cards with a capacity of 128 GB or larger with this

camcorder but such CF cards are initialized using the exFAT file system.

- When using exFAT-formatted CF cards with other devices (digital recorders, card readers, etc.), make sure

that the external device is compatible with exFAT. For more information on compatibility, contact the

computer, operating system or memory card manufacturer.

- If you use exFAT-formatted CF cards with a computer OS that is not exFAT-compatible, you may be

prompted to format the CF card. In such case, cancel the operation to prevent data loss.

NOTES

• Proper operation cannot be guaranteed for all CF cards.

You can insert a CF card into CF card slot A or slot B. If you have two CF

cards, you can use both slots.

1 Slide the CF card slot cover switch in the direction of the E/A
