ABOUT SD MEMORY CARDS AND MULTI MEDIA CARDS
SD Memory Cards and MultiMediaCards are manufactured
with precision electronic components. Please read the fol-
lowing cautions:
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent
image data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the
bottom of the card, the data will be protected. However,
when the card is protected, images can not be recorded. If
an attempt is made to record or delete an image with the
camera, the LED lamps near the viewfinder and the frame
counter on the data panel will blink and will be accompa-
nied by an audio signal.

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD
Memory Cards.This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using
large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.
