NOTE

•Each country controls its local time offset and the use of summer time, and so they are subject to change.

•Removing the battery from the camera too soon after configuring time and date settings for the first time can cause the settings to be reset to their factory defaults. Do not remove the battery for at least 24 hours after configuring settings.

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 176.
