Using the memory card reader
Digital cameras and other digital
imaging devices use memory cards to
store digital picture or media files. The
built-in memory card reader on the front
panel of your system allows you to read
from and write to different memory card
drives.
To use the memory card:
1. Insert the memory card into the card slot.
