Using an SD/SDHC memory card

A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the film that records images in a film camera. Otherwise, the recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity cards enables you to take more pictures.

SD/SDHC memory card write-protect switch

The SD/SDHC memory card body has a write-protect switch. If you set the switch to the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to write to the card, delete data or format. Return the switch to enable writing.

Even if [MEMORY FORMAT]/[FORMAT], [ERASE], [SEL. IMAGE], [ALL ERASE] or [ERASE EVENT] is performed, the data in the card is not completely erased. When disposing of the card, damage the card to prevent the disclosure of personal data.

Readout/recording process of the card

During shooting, the current memory indicator is displayed in red while the camera is writing data. Never open the battery/card compartment cover or unplug the USB cable. This can not only damage the image data but also render the internal memory or card unusable.
