Getting Started
Installing an SD Memory Card
This camera uses a commercially available SD Memory Card, SDHC
Memory Card, or SDXC Memory Card. Captured images are saved on
the SD Memory Card when a card is inserted in the camera. They are
saved in the built-in memory when a card is not inserted (p.36).
Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) an SD Memory Card
that is unused or has been used on other cameras or digital
devices. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.123) for instructions
on formatting.
• The number of still pictures that can be stored and movie recording
time vary depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the
selected number of recorded pixels.
- Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for still pictures
on the [A Rec. Mode] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Number of
Recorded Pixels” (p.75) for details.
- Choose the appropriate number of recorded pixels for movies on the
[C Movie] menu. Refer to “Selecting the Recorded Pixels for
Movies” (p.86) for details.
- For an approximate guide to the number of still pictures or the length
of recorded movies that can be saved on an SD Memory Card or in
the built-in memory, see “Main Specifications” (p.162).
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being
accessed (data is being recorded or read).
Backing Up Data
The camera may not be able to access data in the SD Memory Card or built-in
memory in the case of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back
up important data in another location.
