ABOUT SD MEMORY CARDS AND MULTI MEDIA CARDS

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.

The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent

 

image data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the

 

bottom of the card, the data will be protected. However,

Write-protect

when the card is protected, images can not be recorded. If

an attempt is made to record or delete an image with the

switch

camera, the LED lamps near the viewfinder and the frame

 

counter on the data panel will blink and will be accompa-

 

nied by an audio signal.
