The internal memory and memory card
Pictures taken are recorded in the internal memory.
Pictures can also be recorded to an xD-Picture Card (“card”), sold
separately. The card can be used to record more pictures than is possible
with the internal memory of the camera. A card can be convenient when
taking many pictures while on a trip.
(Internal memory basics
The internal memory is the camera’s media for recording pictures, similar to film in
a film camera.
Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be easily erased on the camera or
processed using a computer. Unlike portable storage media, the internal memory
cannot be removed or exchanged.
(Using the internal memory with a card
You can confirm on the monitor whether the internal memory or card is being used
during shooting and playback operations.
• The internal memory and a card cannot be used at the same time.
• The internal memory cannot be used for shooting or playback operations when a
card is inserted in the camera. Remove the card before using the internal memory.
• Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be copied to a card. g“Copying
pictures in the internal memory to the card (BACKUP)” (P. 78)
