Inside, you’ll find two SD card slots. (See Figure 1.8.) You can use one card, or two. The
slot closest to the top of the camera is Slot 1; the other is Slot 2. If you load only one
card, it’s customary to insert it in Slot 1, but the camera will operate even if the only
SD card in use is placed in Slot 2.

The next section will suggest other “default” settings you might want to adjust before you
get started. You’ll find a complete list of Custom Settings menu options and parameters
in Chapter 9.

The memory
card in either
slot is always
inserted with
the label facing
the back of the
camera.
Insert the memory card with the label facing the back of the camera oriented so the edge
with the contacts (metallic “fingers” with a Secure Digital card) goes into the slot first.
Close the door, and, if necessary, format the card. A Secure Digital card can be removed
just by pressing it inward; it will pop out far enough that you can extract it.
