The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity: 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 (p.50).

• SD memory cards

• SDHC memory cards

• SDXC memory cards

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity SD card rated SD

Speed Class 6 “ ” or higher.

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 website.

Compatible Cards

Cards that Can Record Movies

The camera can use UHS-I cards, but since it is not compatible with the

UHS-I standard, reading/writing speeds will be equivalent to SD Speed

Class 10 at most.

In this manual, “card” refers to SD memory cards, SDHC memory

cards, and SDXC memory cards.

*The camera does not come with a card for recording images/

movies. Please purchase it separately.
