7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD card
Your camera comes with built-in ash memory for storing pictures and
video clips. You can expand the memory using a commercially available
SD card (up to 1 GB). 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 ash
memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
See pages 76 to 78 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 device (Flash disc, computer hard
disk 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 ofce.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for
the rst 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.
