About Memory 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 Cards and Memory Sticks have a write- protect switch to prevent image data from being deleted. However, when the card is protected, images cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made to record or delete an image with the camera, the card-protected message appears and the viewfinder indicator lamp blinks. For memory card care and store see page 100.

If the unable-to-read message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in another camera may also have to be formatted before being used. A card can be formatted in the setup menu (p. 64). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently erased.
