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.

Quick Start Basics
Preparing a Memory Card
Though the camera has built-in memory that can be used to store images and
movies, you probably will want to purchase a commercially available memory card for
greater capacity. The camera does not come with a memory card. Images recorded
while a memory card is loaded are saved to the memory card. When no memory card
is loaded, images are saved to built-in memory.
• For information about memory card capacities, see page 144.
Supported Memory Cards
– microSD Memory Card
– microSDHC Memory Card
– microSDXC Memory Card
• The above are supported memory card types as of January
2015.
• 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.
Warning!
*
0 Memory cards are small and present a risk of accidentally being swallowed
by infants and young children. Keep memory cards out of the reach of
infants and young children. If a memory card is ever swallowed accidentally,
contact a physician immediately.
