Inserting a Memory Card
Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, optional SD memory cards (sold sepa-
rately) can be used to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, a appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become cor-
rupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and saved on
the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in internal memory
can also be copied to a memory card (see page 55). To prevent internal memory from becoming full,
be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
