      • If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
      • If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an even faster card.
      • To check the card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s Web site.

      IMPORTANT
      • The camera does not come with a card for recording images/movies. Please purchase it separately.
      • If the card is new or was previously formatted by another camera or computer, it is recommended that you format the card with this camera.
