7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD Card
Your camera comes with built-in flash memory for storing pictures
and video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially
available SD card (up to 1GB). The camera senses whether a memory
card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures and video clips
accordingly. Note that you cannot save pictures or video clips to the
built-in flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
See pages 72 to 74 for storage capacities.
Memory Card Precautions
1. Use only an SD memory card with this camera.
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can
cause data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you
always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer
hard drive, etc.).
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore
normal operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that
you always take along more than one memory card whenever using
the camera far away from the home or office.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for
the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using
seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format
a memory card if it was used in another digital camera or other
devices.
