Write-protecting your images ----------------------------------------------------------------
Move the write-protection switch on the SD memory card to
LOCK to prevent your still images from being accidentally erased
or the card from being formatted. If you unlock the card (by
returning the switch to its original position), it is once again
possible to erase images and format the card.
It is recommended to move the write-protection switch to LOCK
when you have some important data recorded.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because no
data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card before shooting.
Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• For information on switching between the SD memory card and internal memory
during playback, see P.51.
• Movie recording time and the maximum number of still pictures varies depending on
the capacity of the SD memory card. (GP.193)
• You can copy images recorded in the internal memory to the SD memory card.
(GP.127)
• When using an SD memory card previously used with another camera, be sure to
back up any necessary data on the card before formatting it. (GP.143)
• SDHC memory card (8 GB) can also be used.
