Setting Data Using an SD memory card

By saving up to four files of setup menu settings on an SD or SDHC memory card (optional accessory), you can create a setup card that will allow you to quickly configure camera settings before recording.

Handling SD Memory Cards

An SD memory card may be inserted or removed, either before or after the power is turned on.

To insert an SD memory card

Open the slot cover, insert the SD memory card (optional accessory) in the slot with the label side of the card facing upwards and close the slot cover.

NOTE

•An SD memory card must be inserted with the right side facing the slot. If the card cannot be inserted, it may the wrong side up or back-to-front. Do not force it into the slot. Check the card before reinserting it.

•Use only SD memory cards that conform to the SD standard or the SDHC standard in this camera.

Be sure to read [SD memory card precautions] (page 22) regarding SD memory handling.

To remove the SD memory card

Open the slot cover and make sure that the BUSY lamp is not on before pushing the SD memory card further into the slot and releasing it. This will cause the SD memory card to pop out of the slot. Remove the SD memory card and close the slot cover.
