Inserting Memory Cards

Steps First

Image, sound, and movie files are stored in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 20 MB) or on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards (available commercially; A173).

If a memory card is inserted in the camera, data are automatically stored on the memory card and data recorded to the memory card can be played back, deleted or transferred. Remove the memory card to store data in the internal memory, or play back, delete or transfer data from the internal memory.

1 Be sure that the power-on lamp and the monitor are off and open the battery- chamber/memory card slot cover.

Be sure to turn off the camera before opening the cover.

2 Insert the memory card.

Memory card slot

Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place.

B Inserting Memory Cards

Inserting the memory card upside down or backwards could damage the camera

or the memory card. Be sure to check that the memory card is in the correct orientation.

3Close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

Removing Memory Cards

Turn the camera off and be sure that the power-on lamp and the monitor have turned off before opening the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

Press the card in (1) to partially eject the card, then remove the card by hand while being careful not to remove the card at an angle (2).

Note that the camera, battery, and memory card

may become hot during use; observe caution when removing the battery or memory card.
