Installing the SD Memory Card

This camera uses an SD Memory Card, an SDHC Memory Card, or an SDXC Memory Card. (All cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured images are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted (p.40).

• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card that is unused or has been used in other cameras or digital devices. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.176) for instructions on formatting.

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

The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels (p.39).

Backing Up Data

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