Quick Start Basics
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 177.

Use one of the above types of memory card.
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may
experience problems saving high-quality movies. Use of certain types of memory
cards increase the time it takes to record movies, which can cause movie frames to
be lost. The “0 REC” indicator on the monitor screen turns yellow to indicate that
frames are being lost. Use of a memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at
least 10MB per second is recommended.
1. Press [ON/OFF] to turn off the camera and then open
the memory card slot cover.
Pressing the memory card slot cover, slide it in the direction
indicated by the arrow.
2. Load a memory card.
Positioning the memory card so its front is
facing in the same direction as the
monitor screen side of the camera, slide it
into the card slot as far as it will go, until
you hear it click securely into place.
3. Close the memory card slot cover.
Pressing the memory card slot cover against the camera, slide
it closed.
• For information about how to replace the memory card, see
page 160.
