BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

Recording an Image
Your camera automatically adjusts shutter speed in
accordance with the brightness of the subject. Images you
record are stored in the camera’s built-in memory, or to a
memory card if you have one loaded in the camera.
• When an optionally available SD memory card, SDHC
memory card, or MultiMediaCard (MMC) is loaded in the
camera, images are stored on the card (page 171).
The camera’s built in memory can record only a few
images and is intended for testing the camera or for
emergency purposes only. Using a memory card
provides more capacity you can use to store more
images, high-quality and large-size images, and longer
movies. In order to be able to use a commercially
available memory card, you first need to format it
using the camera’s formatting procedure. For details
about formatting a memory card, see page 174.
NOTE
• Moving the camera as you press the shutter button
or while the Auto Focus operation is being performed
(when you press the shutter button half way) can
cause blurring of the image. Press the shutter button
carefully, taking care to avoid camera movement.
This is especially important when available lighting is
low, which slows down the shutter speed.
• There is a speaker on the bottom of the camera. The
operation sound and other sounds can become
difficult to hear if you cover the speaker with your
hand while holding it.
