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.
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.46.
• For recording capacities, see P.164.
