Inserting or removing an SD/SDHC card
Your camcorder has 128 MB of internal memory, approximately 70 MB of which is available for
video/photo capture. 70 MB will allow you to capture less than one minute of high de nition
video or several photos, so it is strongly recommended that you insert an SD/SDHC card for
video/photo capture.

card instead of storing them in the internal memory.
