Camera Preparations
• If the card does not slide in smoothly, you may be loading the card upside down. Check
that the card is the right way up and do not try to force it into the slot.
• Do not attach stickers of any sort to the memory card as this may jam the card in the slot
so that you cannot remove it.
2Load the memory card.
Make sure the side with the label attached is
facing the LCD monitor.
To load the card, push it into the slot until it makes
a clicking sound and stops.
3Close the card/battery cover.
Close the cover and slide it in the opposite direction to the arrow (U) to lock it.
■Write protect switch (SD Memory Cards only)
SD Memory Cards are provided with a write
protect switch.
Sliding this switch downward prevents any more
data from being recorded onto the card and
protects the images and data already stored on the
card.
When you load a write-protected card into the
camera in “C”, “M” or “N” mode, the “WRITE
PROTECT” message appears the LCD monitor.
You cannot use a write-protected card to take
pictures. You cannot erase images on a write-
protected card either.
Removing the Memory Card
1Check that the camera is switched

off and then open the card/battery

cover.

Slide the card/battery cover in the direction of the
arrow (U) to open it.
Write-protect switch
Slide this switch down to
write-protect the card.
