You’ll also have the flexibility of copying video from your VIXIA HF R20’s internal drive to the removable SD memory cards. That makes it easy to insert the card into your computer or HDTV’s card reader and view your recorded footage immediately.

* Size of internal memory in VIXIA HF R20.
The maximum memory capacity and recording time can be substantially increased by the combination of the internal memory and the size of the SD or SDXC memory card chosen. For example, the VIXIA HF R20’s 8GB of internal memory, combined with two removable 64GB memory cards, would give 136GB in total memory capacity, and over 45 hours of recording time at LP setting.
MXP and FXP modes record in 1920 x 1080 and require a Class 4 or higher SDHC or SDXC Card. |
