Recording pictures

Pictures taken are stored in the internal memory.

You can also use an optional xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this manual) to store pictures. The card has greater capacity than the internal memory, and so is able to store more pictures. The card is convenient, for example, when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.

(Internal memory basics

The internal memory corresponds to the film of a normal camera for recording pictures you have taken.

Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased, overwritten, and/or edited on a computer. The internal memory cannot be replaced or removed from the camera.

Relationship between the internal memory and the card

The monitor displays which memory (internal or card) is being used for shooting and displaying images.
