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. When no memory card is loaded When an SD Memory Card is loaded Records to internal memory Records to the SD 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.
