Using the camera
6.1
Smart Media Card
The Smart Media Card is the primary memory and must be used first when taking
photographs or recording a video.
When the Smart Media Card is full, remove it from the camera and close the battery
compartment.
Photographs will then be saved on the internal SDRAM memory.
Note:
Always use the Smart Media Card first to save photographs. The internal
SDRAM memory is only for emergency use when the Smart Media Card
is full. Photographs will be deleted from the internal memory when the
batteries are empty or when the battery compartment is opened.
Note
:
Make sure the photographs have been downloaded onto your computer
before opening the battery compartment. If the photographs have not
been downloaded onto your computer, then they will be deleted from the
internal memory.
Note
:
When the Smart Media Card is removed from the camera and
photographs have been saved in the SDRAM memory, the photographs
must first be saved on your computer before opening the battery
compartment or inserting the Smart Media Card, because the
photographs will be deleted.
Note
:
Video recordings are only saved on the Smart Media Card.
