Inserting and Removing SD Cards

Inserting an SD Card

Removing an SD Card

IMPORTANT
• Never remove an SD card while images are being recorded (while the MEDIA
LED is lit). Doing so could corrupt the data on the SD card or damage the SD card
itself.
• The first time you use an SD card, or when using an SD card that has been used
on another device, always format the card in the camera before recording.
• This camera does not support the MultiMediaCard™ format.
Turn the camera off before inserting or removing an SD card (sold separately).
1Insert the SD card into the SD slot, ensuring that the card
is facing in the right direction (as shown below).
With the notch facing upwards (towards the lens), push
the card firmly all the way into the slot.
Check that the SD card is pushed fully and securely into
the slot.
To have images you shoot recorded on an SD card, you
should insert an SD card for that purpose before taking
images.
See “Selecting an SD Card as the Save Location and
Creating Albums” p.74.
1Push the card into the slot once so that it springs out
slightly. Then slowly pull it out of the slot.
