7 Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card
• Using the SD card
Your camera comes with a 16MB built-in ash memory for storing
pictures and video clips. You can expand the memory using a
commercially available SD card (up to 1GB). 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.
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 (MO disc, computer
hard 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.
