When you expect to shoot a large number of images (while traveling, onspecial occasions, etc.), it is a good idea to bring an extra card (in additionto the provided 8 MB card). The number of images you can shoot varies according to the card capacity andrecord mode used. Select a suitable card by referring to the following table.Numbers of Images You Can Shoot (Approximate Numbers)Record Mode SQ HQ SHQ(Standard Quality) (High Quality) (Super-High Quality)640 x 480 1280 x 9808 MB 122 36 1816 MB 244 73 3632 MB 489 146 7364 MB 978 292 146Image size(pixels)SmartMediacapacityThe commercially available 5 V card cannot be used with this camera. Use theOlympus brand card or a commercially available 3 V (3.3 V) card.This camera may not be able to recognize a card that is not manufactured byOlympus or Lexar or a card which has been formatted on another device such as aPC. To avoid problems, you should format each card before using it on this camera.Using the Three Record ModesSQ: Select this mode when you want to attach the image to e-mail, simply view it on your PCscreen, or want to shoot more images per card.HQ: Select this mode when you need image quality in between SQ and SHQ.

(This is the default recording mode.)SHQ: Select this mode when you want to print the image with high quality or a large size orto retouch it on your PC. For details on the record modes and how to select them, refer to“Selecting the Image Quality” ( Page 54). The number of shootable images is also variable because the dataquantity per image is variable depending on the shot subject.
