Inserting Memory Cards

Steps First

Image, sound, and movie files are saved in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 20 MB) or on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards (available commercially; A177).

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

1Be 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 correctly until it clicks into place.

BInserting 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

Before removing memory cards, turn the camera off and confirm that the power-on lamp and monitor are off. 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 due caution when removing the memory card.
