7.Install and Format a Memory Card (Optional)

Your camera contains internal memory that allows you to store images and video clips. However, you can use a memory card (purchased separately) instead to store images and video clips. For more information about supported memory cards, see Storage on page 166.

1.Turn off the camera and open the Battery/Memory card door on the side of the camera.

2.Insert the memory card in the small slot above the batteries, with the notched side of the card going in first, as shown. Make sure the memory card snaps into place.

3.Close the Battery/Memory

card door and turn on the camera.

To help prevent corrupted cards and images, you should format memory cards before you use them for the first time, as follows:

1.Press the button, then use the button to move to the Playback Menu .

2.Press the button to highlight Delete, and then press the

button to display the Delete sub-menu.

3.Use the button to highlight Format Card, and then

press the button to display the Format Card confirmation screen.
