Pentax 15921 manual Installing an SD Memory Card, Backing Up Data

1 GettingStarted

Installing an SD Memory Card

This camera uses a commercially available SD Memory Card, SDHC Memory Card, or SDXC Memory Card. (These cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards hereafter.) Captured images and sound files 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.40).

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 an SD Memory Card” (p.164) for instructions on formatting.

• The still picture storage capacity and movie recording time vary depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels (p.39).

•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.
