About Formatting -------------------------------------------------------------------
Before using a memory card for the first time or after using a memory card
in other devices, be sure to format it with this camera. Memory cards can be
formatted using the [Format [Card]] item (
G
P.76) in the setup menu (
G
P.75).
Where images are recorded -------------------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera records images to the internal
memory (
t
); when an SD memory card is loaded, it records images to the SD
memory card (
u
).
Where images are played back from --------------------------------------------
When no SD memory card is loaded, the camera plays back from the internal
memory (
t
). When an SD memory card is loaded, it plays back from the SD
memory card (
u
).
Caution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• If an SD memory card is loaded, the camera does not record to the internal
memory, even if the card is full.
• Take care not to get the contacts of the card dirty.
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.
Note that you cannot shoot images on a locked card because
no data can be recorded to the card. Unlock the card
before shooting. Although SD WORM cards do not have a
writeprotection switch, they can not be formatted, and data can not be deleted
from SD WORM cards.
Note
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The [Copy to Card from Internal Memory] item (
G
P.66) in the playback menu
(
G
P.65) can be used to copy the pictures in internal memory to a memory
card.
• An SD/SDHC memory card with a Speed Class of 6 or better is recommended
when recording movies with [
x
1280] selected for [Movie Size] (
G
P.56).
