Getting Started

Please read and complete the following steps to begin using your digital video camcorder.

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 avoid data corruption, turn off the digital video camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
