USING A MEMORY CARD

You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a commercially available memory card (SD memory card or MultiMediaCard). You can also copy files from built-in memory to a memory card and from a built-in memory card to built-in memory.

•Normally, files are stored in built-in memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.

•Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.

IMPORTANT!

•Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.

•See the instructions that come with the memory card for information about how to use it.

•Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to record a movie using the “HQ” image quality setting. Because of this, use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

•Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data, which can cause movie frames to be dropped.

and flash on the monitor screen during recording to let you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.

•SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files.

•Electrostatic charge, digital noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Always maintain backup copies of important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)
