1 GettingStarted

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.36).

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.123) for instructions on formatting.

• The number of still pictures that can be stored and movie recording time vary depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels.

-Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for still pictures on the [A Rec. Mode] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Number of Recorded Pixels” (p.75) for details.

-Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for movies on the [C Movie] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Recorded Pixels for Movies” (p.86) 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.162).

•The self-timer 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.
