There are two ways to record the pictures you take with this camera.
Recording pictures to the internal memory
• Pictures are recorded to the internal memory, and when the number of storable still
pictures reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the
pictures, and then erase the pictures from the internal memory.
Using a card (optional)
• Pictures are recorded to the card when inserted in the camera. When the card is full, you
download the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card or
use a new card.
• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera.
Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
