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 125.
• The above are supported memory card types as of July 2017.
• This camera supports use of microSD memory cards of the
following types and capacities: microSD memory cards up to 2GB; microSDHC
memory cards greater than 2GB, up to 32GB; microSDXC memory cards greater
than 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.
+
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, highquality movies may not be able to be stored correctly. A slow memory card can take
too much time to record data and result in breaks in the image and/or audio during
playback. When this happens “ ” (Movie Stop) will be “ ”.
