ABOUT MEMORY CARDS

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards compared with SD
Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications of the cards. When using
large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take longer.
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to prevent
image data from being deleted. By sliding the switch to the bot-
tom of the card, the data will be protected. However, when the
card is protected, images cannot be recorded. If an attempt is
made to record or delete an image with the camera, the card-
locked message will appear and the LED lamps near the
viewfinder will turn red and blink quickly. For memory card care
and store see page 108.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted card in
the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in another
camera may also have to be formatted before being used. A
card can be formatted in the basic section of the setup menu
(p. 74). When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is
permanently erased.
