Although the camera can store pictures in internal memory, SD memory cards (sold separately) can
be used
to store additional pictures.
When no memory card is inserted, IDJ appears in the monitor and internal memory is used for recording
and playback. Note
that because camera malfunction could cause internal memory to become
corrupted, the pictures in internal
memory should periodically be transferred to a computer and
saved on the computer hard disk or
on removable media such as CDs or DVDs. The pictures in
internal
memory can also be copied to a memory card (see page 75). To prevent internal memory
from becoming full, be sure to delete pictures when they are no longer needed.
When a memory card is inserted as described below, the card will be used for recording and playback.
• Compatible Memory Cards
SanDisk SD and SDHC memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the camera. A
complete list
of approved memory cards is available at http.//www.fujifi/m.com/products/digitaL
