Inserting Memory Cards

Removing Memory Cards

Before removing memory cards, turn the camera off and confirm that the power-on lamp is off. Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and press the card in 1 to partially eject the card 2. The card can then be removed by hand.

BFormatting Memory Cards

If the message at right is displayed, the memory card must be

formatted before use (A 107). Note that formatting permanently deletes all pictures and other data on the

memory card. Be sure to make copies of any pictures you wish to keep before formatting the memory card.

Use the rotary multi selector to choose Yes and press k. A confirmation dialog will be displayed. To start formatting, choose Format and press k.

First Steps

Do not turn the camera off or open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until formatting is complete.

The first time you insert the memory cards used in other devices into this camera, be sure to format them with this camera (A 107).

B The Write Protect Switch

Write protect switch

Memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch. When this switch is in the “lock” position, data cannot be written to, or deleted from, the memory card. If the switch is in the “lock” position, unlock it by sliding the switch to the “write” position to record or delete pictures, or to format the memory card.

Be sure that the memory card’s write protect switch is in the “write” position when transmitting pictures from the memory

card to the my Picturetown server using the wireless LAN function built into the COOLPIX S52c.

BMemory Cards

Use only Secure Digital memory cards.

Do not perform the following during formatting, while data are being written to or deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera or memory card:

-Eject the memory card

-Remove the battery

-Turn off the camera

-Disconnect the AC adapter

Do not disassemble or modify.

Do not drop, bend, or expose to water or strong physical shocks.

Do not touch the metal terminals with your fingers or metal objects.

Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.

Do not leave in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or areas exposed to high temperatures.

Do not expose to humidity, dust, or to corrosive gases.
