Gently push in the card, then let go. The card will stick out.

When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that the images are being written to or read by the card, being erased, or data is being transferred. While the access lamp is lit or blinking, never do any of the following. Doing so may damage the image data. It may also damage the card or camera.

Opening the card slot cover.

Opening the battery compartment cover.

Shaking or banging the camera around.

If the card already contains recorded images, the image number might not start from 0001. (p.110)

Do not touch the card’s contacts with your fingers or metal objects.

If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove and reinstall the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

If you can transfer all the images in the card to a personal computer, transfer all the images and then format the card (p.40). The card may then return to normal.
