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.32)

• Be sure to use this camera to format an SD Memory Card that

is unused or has been used on another camera. Refer to
“Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory”
(p.148) 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.29)

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.
