About the Card
ªAccess to the card
While the card is accessed, the card 
access indication 1 lights.
When the card access indication 1 
lights, do not:
 turn the camera off.
 remove the battery or the card.
 disconnect the DC cable if you use the 
AC adaptor.
The card and the card contents may be 
damaged and the camera may not 
operate normally.
It is possible that data stored on the 
card can be damaged due to accidental 
erasure, static electricity, electrical noise 
or a defective card. We recommend 
storing precious data to your PC’s hard 
drive. (P109, 110)ªSD Memory Card (supplied) and 
MultiMediaCard (optional)
The SD Memory Card and 
MultiMediaCard are small, lightweight, 
removable external memory cards. The 
reading/ writing speed of an SD Memory 
Card is fast. The SD Memory Card is 
equipped with a Write-Protect switch 
that can inhibit writing and formatting a 
card. (When the switch is slid to the 
[LOCK] side, it is not possible to write or 
delete data on the card and format it. 
When the switch is unlocked, these 
functions become available.)
SD Memory Card
MultiMediaCard
¬
Suggestions/Tips ¬
 The reading/writing speed of a 
MultiMediaCard is slower than an SD 
Memory Card. When a 
MultiMediaCard is used, the 
performance of certain features may 
be slightly slower than advertised.
 After recording motion images using 
the MultiMediaCard, the card access 
indication may appear for a while, but 
this is not a malfunction.
 Keep the Memory Card out of reach of 
children to prevent swallowing.
