Inserting a Memory CardAlthough the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) canbe used to store additional pictures.

When no memory card is inserted, d appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recordingand playback. Note that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to becomecorrupted, the pictures in internal memory should periodically be transferred to a computer andsaved on the computer hard disk or on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures ininternal memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 65). To prevent internal memoryfrom 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.

■ Compatible Memory CardsCompatible Memory CardsSanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera.

C Cautions• Format memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a

computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 73.

• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memorycard, seek medical assistance immediately.• Do not use miniSD or microSD adapters that expose the back of the card. Failure to observe

this precaution may cause damage or malfunction. Adapters that are larger or smaller thanthe standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject,take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

• Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data arebeing recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

• Do not affix labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card.• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the

repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored.

Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or other device to edit, delete, or rename imagefiles. Always use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or

renaming files, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
