Installing a Memory Card (Optional)
If you do not have a memory card, skip this section and go on to the next section, Installing the Battery on page 14. 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 179.
When you install a memory card in the camera, all new images and video clips are stored on the card. The camera’s internal memory is only used when there is no memory card in the camera.
1Hold the camera with the bottom facing up, and the front of the camera facing you. Then slide the Battery/Memory card door on the bottom of the camera away from you, toward the back of the camera.
2Insert the memory card in the smaller slot with the notched side of the card going in first, as shown. Make sure the memory card snaps into place.
3Leave the Battery/Memory card door open and go on to the next section, Installing the Battery on page 14.
To remove the memory card from the camera, first turn the camera off. Then open the Battery/Memory card door, press down on the top edge of the memory card, and it will spring outward from the slot.
