* We recommend a memory card of at least 10MB/Sec write speed to prevent auto stop or unexpected results. If you experience an error using a slower SD/SDHC memory card, you can set your camera's video recording to QVGA (320 x 240) and standard quality.
* SDHC Class6 or above is required for HD movie recording.
