Recording pictures to the internal memory

reaches 0, you must connect the camera to a computer to download the pictures, and then 
erase the pictures from the internal memory.

the pictures to a computer, and then either erase the pictures from the card or use a new 
card.

• Pictures are not recorded to the internal memory when a card is inserted in the camera. 

Pictures in the internal memory can be copied to the card using the [BACKUP] function.
