Chapter 9
I have two memory cards that are the same size, but one stores many more pictures than the other.
●Your memory card may contain files that are not images or videos recognized by the camera. Save any data on the memory card that you want to keep, then format the memory card (see Install and format an optional memory card on page 9).
●If your memory cards are 4GB or larger, the card that stores fewer images may have been improperly formatted by a device that does not support 4GB or larger cards. A new type of High Capacity Secure Digital (marked SDHC) memory card is now available that prevents improper formatting and use by devices not supporting 4GB or larger cards. Try formatting the card in this camera, which supports High Capacity Secure Digital cards.
●Your memory card may be defective. If you have formatted your memory card in the camera and it does not show the expected capacity, consider replacing the memory card.
The Power light is on but the Image Display is off, or the camera seems stuck and won’t operate.
●Slide 
to a different position or press any camera button to reactivate the Image Display.
●Reset the camera (see Resetting the camera on page 41 ).
The camera responds sluggishly when trying to review images.
See Storage on page 53 and Memory capacity on page 53 for tips about memory cards.
Video recording terminates abruptly. The video is saved successfully, but it is shorter than expected.

Best, consider using 
Better or

Better, consider using 
Good (see Video Quality under Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus on page 18).
●Replace your memory card with a faster card. Look for cards marked High Performance, Pro, Ultra, or High Speed.
Video recording terminates abruptly and the video will not play back.
●Remove the memory card and see if the video is stored in internal memory. If so, transfer the video to a memory card (see Move Images to Card under Using the Playback Menu on page 26) or to your computer (see Transferring and printing images on page 32).
●If the video is stored on a memory card, transfer the video to your computer (see Transferring and printing images on page 32), then reformat the card (see Install and format an optional memory card on page 9).
The camera gets warm (or even hot) to the touch.
This is normal. However, if anything seems out of the ordinary, turn off the camera and remove it from AC power, and allow the camera to cool. Then examine the camera and the battery for signs of possible damage.
For best image quality, turn off the camera when not using. Always store the camera in a cool place.
