5.1 Image and audio recording
The amount of audio and image content that can be recorded depends on the where the content is being saved
(internal memory or SD card).
In order to enjoy the full capabilities of the product, we recommend using an SD card for the save destination.
– When an SD card is inserted into the main monitor, it automatically becomes the default save destination. (The
save destination cannot be selected.)
– See page 10 for information about supported SD cards and how they are used.

Guide for SD card capacity and recording
The following table gives an approximate guide to the number of images that can be recorded, based on which device
took the images and the size of the SD card used, when the default settings are used ([Record calls] is set to
[Disable] (® page 36)).

Note:
R When using a camera, we recommend using an SD card with a capacity of 4 GB or more.
R The number of images that can be recorded in the table are just a guide and may differ from the actual number
of images that can be recorded.
R Because SD cards contain data such as file system management information, the complete capacity cannot be
used to save data. When other data is saved to an SD card, the number of images and videos that can be saved
is reduced.
