Slide the card-slot door release down to open the card-slot door (1).

To eject a CompactFlash card, press the card-eject lever (2). The card can now be pulled out. Take care when removing the card as it becomes hot with use.

Insert the memory card into the card slot until the card-eject lever pops out (3). Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight, never at an angle. Never force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is oriented correctly.

Close the card-slot door (4).

A card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. A card is formatted in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 84); this operation permanently erases all data on the card. If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the card is not compatible with the camera and cannot be formatted.
