Getting Started
Installing the SD Memory Card
This camera uses SD Memory Cards, SDHC Memory Cards or SDXC
Memory Cards. (These cards are referred to as SD Memory Cards
hereafter.) Captured images and sound files are saved on the SD
Memory Card when a card is inserted in the camera. They are saved in
the built-in memory when a card is not inserted (p.42).
• 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 the Memory” (p.190) for
instructions on formatting.
• When you intend to use a brand-new Eye-Fi card for the first time,
copy the Eye-Fi Manager installation file to your computer before
formatting the card.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or removing
the SD Memory Card.
• 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.41).
• The self-timer lamp blinks while the SD Memory Card is being
accessed (data is being recorded or read).
Backing Up Data
The camera may not be able to access data in the built-in memory in the case
of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back up important data in
another location.
