3.1.7 Memory Management
RAM
The integrated RAM has a total capacity of 64 Mbytes and is used for the following purposes.
• Program memory to be used by the OS and programs.
• Object store used for temporary file saving, etc.
• Other program and OS resident areas beyond the control by the OS
• Buffers for display and camera
• Driver work area
The user can make unrestricted use with the object store, but data stored in it may be lost due to
battery exhaustion, etc. To avoid such incident it should be used just as a temporary storage area,
and use FlashDisk to store important data files.

Memory Initial Status
Program memory capacity Total capacity; 30.85 MB 5.2 MB used
Object store capacity Total capacity; 30.85 MB 0.3 MB used
• Of the 64Mbytes of RAM, apart from the above, it is used for OS resident area, buffers for
display and camera and driver work.
• In a situation where there is a small open area in the program memory capacity, but a large
user application, the Control Panel can be used to reallocate the memory capacity. However,
in this case, back up for the setting after the change made for allocating the memory capacity
is not possible. If backup for the setting made on the Control Panel is required, use a “Backup
Tool” available from CASIO.
