Preparing a Memory Card

Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images and movies recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images and movies are saved to built-in memory.

• For information about memory card capacities, see page 179.
