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.
