Instructions on how to use the memory card
NOTICE
If you open the memory card cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn
off automatically.
Don’t remove the memory card when the Autofocus indicator lamp(Green) is blinking as this
may cause damage to data in the memory card.
You can use both an SD memory card and Multi Media Card (MMC).
We recommend using the SD memory card as the Multi-Media Card need more time to stored the
image than the SD memory card.
When using a 32MB SD memory card, the specified shooting capacity will be as follows. 
(These figures are intended as an indication of expected performance).
These figures are approximate as image capacities can be affected by variables such as memory
performance and subject matter.
The SD memory card has a write protect switch that
prevents image files from being deleted or formatted. By
sliding the switch to the bottom of the SD memory card, the
data will be protected. By sliding the switch to the top of the
SD memory card, the data protection will be canceled.
Check the switch position before taking an image.
