Getting Started

Installing the SD Memory Card

This camera uses an SD Memory Card. Captured images and sound files
are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They
are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted. (p.34)

• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory

Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or
digital devices. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or
the Built-in Memory” (p.159) fo
r instructions on formatting.

• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or

removing the SD Memory Card.

• Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the SD

Memory Card. Avoid changing the card where the camera is likely
to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry.

• Do not apply excessive pressure to the front or back of the camera

when opening and closing the battery/card cover as this may dislodge
the waterproof packing. If the packing is not in the correct position, the
waterproof performance of the camera will be compromised.

• The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity

of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded
pixels and quality level. (p.31)

• The power indicator blinks while the SD Memory Card is being

accessed (data is being recorded or read).

Backing Up Data

The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the case
of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data in
another location.
