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 card write-protect switch

The SD/SDHC 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. Release the switch to enable writing.

Even if [MEMORY FORMAT]/[FORMAT], [ERASE], [SEL. IMAGE], or [ALL ERASE] 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.

Using a new card

Cards must be formatted with this camera before first use or after being used with other cameras or computers.

Readout/recording process of the card

During shooting, the current memory indicator lights 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.
