The internal memory and memory card
Pictures taken are recorded in the internal memory.
Pictures can also be recorded to an xD-Picture Card (“card”). The card can
be used to record more pictures than is possible with the internal memory
of the camera. A card can be convenient when taking many pictures while
on a trip.
(
Internal memory basics
The internal memory is the camera’s media for recording pictures, similar to film in
a film camera.
Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be easily erased on the camera or
processed using a computer. Unlike portable storage media, the internal memory
cannot be removed or exchanged.
(
Using the internal memory or card
You can confirm on the monitor whether the internal memory or card is being used
during shooting and playback operations.
• The internal memory and a card cannot be used at the same time.
• The internal memory cannot be used for shooting or playback operations when a
card is inserted in the camera. Remove the card before using the internal memory.
• Pictures recorded to the internal memory can be copied to a card.
