The internal memory and memory card
Pictures taken are recorded in the internal memory.
Pictures can also be recorded to an xD-Picture Card (“card”). The card can
be used to record more pictures than is possible with the internal memory
of the camera. A card can be convenient when taking many pictures while
on a trip.
(Internal memory basics
The internal memory is the camera’s media for recording pictures, similar to film in
a film camera.
Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be easily erased on the camera or
processed using a computer. Unlike portable storage media, the internal memory
cannot be removed or exchanged.
(Using the internal memory or card
You can confirm on the monitor whether the internal memory or card is being used
during shooting and playback operations.
• The internal memory and a card cannot be used at the same time.
• The internal memory cannot be used for shooting or playback operations when a
card is inserted in the camera. Remove the card before using the internal memory.
• Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be copied to a card. g“Copying
pictures in the internal memory to the card (BACKUP)” (P. 92)
