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 41) when
you use them with this camcorder for the first time.
* The camcorder can record custom picture settings and camera settings on to an
SD card. To record a user memo 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, visit your local Canon
Web site.
* The Ultra Direct Memory Access (UDMA) specification allows data to be

MBps). Depending on the CF card, you may not be able to record even when
using a UDMA-comptaible CF card.
