LCD Panel
The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that
provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number
of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics
of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.
Take test shots
Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is
recording correctly.

is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 131.
Supported Memory Cards
– microSD Memory Card
– microSDHC Memory Card
– microSDXC Memory Card
• The above are supported memory card types as of April 2013.
• This camera supports use of microSD memory cards of the
following types and capacities: microSD memory cards up to 2GB, microSDHC
memory cards from 2GB up to 32GB, microSDXC memory cards from 32GB up to
2TB. Note that the ability to use any particular card with this camera, even if it
satisfies the above capacity and type requirements, is not guaranteed.
