First Steps

Inserting Memory Cards

Pictures are stored in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 16 MB) or on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards (73). Internal memory is used for recording and deleting pictures only if no memory card is inserted.

To insert a memory card:

1 Turn the camera oﬀ

If the power-on lamp is lit, press the power switch to turn the camera oﬀ.

2 Insert the memory card

Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and slide the memory card in until it clicks into place. Close the memory card slot cover.

Inserting Memory Cards

Check to be sure the card is in the correct orientation. Inserting the card upside down or backwards could damage the camera or the card.

3 Press the power switch to turn the camera on If no message is displayed in the monitor, the camera is ready for use.

If the message shown at right is displayed, the memory card must be formatted before use. Note that formatting permanently deletes all pic- tures and other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any pictures you wish to keep before beginning formatting.

To begin formatting, press the multi selector up to highlight [Format] and then press the button. A conﬁ rmation dialog will be displayed; select [Format] and press . Do not turn the camera oﬀ or remove the batteries or memory card until formatting is complete.
