Getting Started
Installing an SD Memory Card
This camera uses a commercially available SD Memory Card, SDHC 
Memory Card, or SDXC Memory Card. (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.40).
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 an SD Memory Card” (p.164) for 
instructions on formatting.
• The still picture storage capacity and movie recording time vary 
depending on the capacity of the SD Memory Card and the selected 
number of recorded pixels (p.39).
• 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 SD Memory Card or built-in 
memory in the case of a malfunction. Use a computer or other device to back 
up important data in another location.
