INSERTING AND CHANGING A MEMORY CARD

Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before inserting or removing a memory card, otherwise the card may be damaged, and data lost.

A memory card must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has not been inserted, “----” is displayed in the frame counter. Type I and II CompactFlash cards and Microdrives are compatible with this camera. For memory card care and handling, see page 142.

2.

Insert a memory card all the way into the card slot.

 

 

 

Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the

 

 

 

camera. Always push the card in straight. Never

 

 

 

force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it

 

 

 

is oriented correctly.

 

 

3.

Close the card-slot door.

To eject a card, open the card-slot door, and press

and release the card-eject lever to extend it.

 

 

 

5.

Press the card-eject lever to eject the card. The card

 

 

 

can now be pulled out. Take care when removing

 

 

 

the card as it becomes hot with use. The card-eject

 

 

 

lever should remain inside the camera body. If it

 

 

 

extends, push it into the camera.

 

 

6.

Insert a new memory card and close the card-slot

 

 

 

door.

If the “Unable to use card, Format?” message appears, the card should be formatted with the camera. Use the right/left keys of the controller to highlight the yes button. Press the central button of the controller to format the card; this can take several minutes depending on the card. When a card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently erased. Selecting “No” cancels the formatting operation; remove the card from the camera. A memory card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used.

If the card-error message appears, press the central button of the controller to close the window; check the Konica Minolta web site for the latest compatibility information:
