Using a Memory Card

■Loading a Memory Card into the Camera

When a memory card is loaded, the camera stores images you shoot on the card.

NOTE

•Though the camera has built-in memory, using a memory card provides additional capacity you can use to store more images, high-quality and large-size images, and longer movies.

•The camera will store images in its built-in memory if there is no memory card loaded. If you prefer to use built-in memory, skip this procedure and go to “Shooting a Snapshot” on page 15.

•For information about memory card capacity, see page 287.
