SD Memory Card

This camera uses an SD Memory Card. Captured images, movies and voice recordings can be 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. (1p.25)

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

•A dummy card is inserted in the SD Memory Card socket when the camera leaves the factory to protect the socket from scratches and dust. Remove the dummy card before inserting the SD Memory Card. No images or sound can be recorded on the dummy card.

•Be sure to format unused cards or cards that have been used on another camera. Refer to “Formatting an SD Memory Card or the Built-in Memory” (p.142) for instructions on formatting.

•The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels and quality level. (1p.22)

•Depending on the mode, the Abutton, C button or O button blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed (data is being recorded or read).

1Insert the SD Memory Card into the SD Memory Card socket so that the label is facing toward the front of the camera (the side with the PENTAX logo).

Push the card in until it clicks. Images and sound may not be recorded correctly if the card is not inserted all the way.
