The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity: If the
card is new or was previously formatted (initialized) by another
camera or computer, format the card with this camera (p.67).
CF (CompactFlash) cards
* Type I, UDMA mode 7-compatible.
SD/SDHC*/SDXC* memory cards
* UHS-I cards supported.
When shooting movies, use a large-capacity card with a fast reading/
writing speed as shown in the table.
If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may
not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card
with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need
an even faster card.
To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s Web site.
