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.
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 cannot be recorded. If an
attempt is made to record or delete an image with the camera,
the card-locked message will appear and the LED lamp near
the card slot will turn red and blink quickly. For memory card
care and store see page 108.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted card
in the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in
another camera may also have to be formatted before being
used. A card can be formatted in section 1 of the setup menu
(p. 82). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is
permanently erased.
