∫About handling a card

Store precious data to your PC (P93). The data on the card may be damaged or lost due to electromagnetic wave, static electricity, breakdown of this camera or a defective card.

∫SD Memory Card (supplied) and

MultiMediaCard (optional)

The SD Memory Card and MultiMediaCard are small, lightweight, removable external memory cards. The reading/writing speed of an SD Memory Card is fast. The SD Memory Card is equipped with a Write-Protect switch A that can inhibit writing and formatting a card. (When the switch is slid to the [LOCK] side, it is not possible to write or delete data on the card and format it. When the switch is unlocked, these functions become available.)

SD Memory Card

MultiMediaCard

•The reading/writing speed of a MultiMediaCard is slower than an SD Memory Card. When a MultiMediaCard is used, the performance of certain features may be slightly slower than advertised.

•After recording motion images using the MultiMediaCard, the card access indication may appear for a while, but this is not a malfunction.

•Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
