Supported Memory Cards
Your camera supports use of SD
memory cards or MMCs
(MultiMediaCard).
Memory Used for Storage
Images recorded while a memory card is loaded are saved to
the memory card. When no memory card is loaded, images are
saved in built-in memory.
• Note that you cannot save images in built-in memory while a
memory card is loaded in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• See the instructions that come with the memory card for
information about how to use it.
• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. If
you are using a slow memory card, you may not be able to
record a movie using the “HQ” image quality setting.
Because of this, use of an SD memory card with a
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is
recommended.
• Certain types of memory cards take longer to record data,
which can cause movie frames to be dropped. “ ” and
“ ” flash on the monitor screen during recording to let
you know when a frame has been dropped. Use of an SD
memory card with a maximum transfer speed of at least
10MB per second is recommended.
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch. Use it when
you need to guard against accidentally deleting data. Note,
however, if you write protect an SD memory card you must
then turn write protection off whenever you want to record
to the card, format it, or delete any of its images.
