Installing the SD Memory Card 1 Getting Started SD Memory Card socket Battery/Card/Terminal cover SD Memory Card This camera uses an SD Memory Card. Captured images and sound files are saved on the SD Memory Card if a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in the built-in memory if a card is not inserted. (p.37) • 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 an SD Memory Card" (p.190) for instructions on formatting. • Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing the SD Memory Card. • Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the SD Memory Card. Avoid changing the card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands are dry. • Do not use excessive force when sliding the battery/card/terminal cover open and closed because the waterproof packing may peel off. If the packing is not in the correct position, the camera will not be waterproof. • The still picture storage capacity varies depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected number of recorded pixels and quality level. (p.34) • The power lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being accessed (data is being recorded or read). 31
