About an SD Memory Card (available in stores)
You can store still images you have taken either in the camera's internal
memory or on an SD Memory Card (available in stores). The internal memory
capacity is 26 MB.
When you want to record a lot of still images, movies or sounds at high
resolutions, use a high-capacity SD Memory Card.
Note
Where images are recorded
When no SD memory card is inserted, the camera records images in the internal memory;
when an SD memory card is inserted, it records images on the memory card.
Caution
• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera will not record to the internal memory, even if
the card is full.
• Take care not to get the metal parts of the card dirty.
• Before using a new SD memory card, be sure to format it.
Note
Write-protecting your images
If you move the card's write-protection switch to LOCK, your still images
cannot be accidentally erased and the memory card cannot be
formatted. If you release the protection (by returning the switch to its
original position), it is once again possible to erase images and format
the card.
So it's a good idea to switch to LOCK when you have some important
data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images in the LOCK state because no data can be recorded on
the card. Unlock the card when shooting.
Reference
• For switching between the SD Memory Card and internal memory during playback, see
P.49.
