Inserting an SD Mem- ory Card (Available in Stores)

You can record the still images and movies

1 you have taken in the camera's internal memory or on an SD memory card (available in stores).

Protecting your images from being deleted

If you move the SD mem- ory card's write-protection

switch to LOCK, your still images cannot be acci- dentally erased, and the

memory card cannot be formatted. If you return the switch to the former

position, it is once again possible to erase images and format the card. It is recom- mended to switch to LOCK after recording

important images.

Note that you cannot shoot images in the LOCK state because no data can be recorded on the card. Unlock the card when shooting.

The internal memory capacity is 16MB.

For the number of images that can be stored on an SD memory card, see P.162.

For how to format an SD memory card, see
