Installing an SD Memory Card

This camera uses a commercially available SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card, or SDXC Memory Card. Captured images are saved on the SD Memory Card when a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory when a card is not inserted (p.37).

• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital devices. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.162) for instructions on formatting.

When using a new Eye-Fi card for the first time, copy the installation file of Eye-Fi Manager on the card to your computer before formatting the card.

Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD Memory Card.

The number of still pictures that can be stored and movie recording

time vary depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card, the selected number of recorded pixels, and the quality level, as well as the frame rate (for movies).

-Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for still pictures in the [ARec. Mode] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Number of Recorded Pixels” (p.91) for details.

-Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels and frame rate for movies in the [C Movie] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Number of Recorded Pixels and Frame Rate for Movies” (p.114) for details.

-For an approximate guide to the number of still pictures or the length of recorded movies that can be saved on an SD Memory Card or in the built-in memory, see “Main Specifications” (p.211).

The power lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed (data is being recorded or read).

Backing Up Data

The camera may not be able to access data in the SD Memory Card or built-in memory in the case of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data in another location.
