Inserting Memory Cards
First Steps
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 (A107). 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.
•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 (A107).
BThe 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.
