Easily transfer recorded footage onto a computer using an SD card.
Many video cameras come with a built-in memory card slot. This allows you to record content directly onto an inserted SD memory card, instead of using the tape, hard drive or mini DVD that is used as a default recording media. Thankfully, recording onto an SD card is similar to recording onto the standard hardware; you just need to change one setting on the video camera.
Instructions
1. Insert the SD card into the SD card reader of the video camera. Without an SD card slot, it is impossible to use the flash memory card on the camera.
2. Power on the video camera and place it on "Memory Card" instead of just "Record." This allows you to record video directly onto the SD card. Typically, this adjustment switch is on the top of the camera (or directly on the back, next to the LCD screen). Different options on the switch range from "Record" to "VCR" to "SD Card."
3. Press "Record" and the content is saved directly onto the SD card. Press "Stop" to stop the recording process.
4. Select the "Playback" feature on the video camera, then choose "Memory Card." Each recording is saved as its own individual video file.
