Installing the SD Memory Card
This camera uses either an SD Memory Card or an SDHC Memory Card.
(Both cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) 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.39).
• 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” (p.184) for
instructions on formatting.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.
• 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.38).
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being
accessed (data are 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.
