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 supplied Canon XF Utility software 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.
