18 19GETTING UP AND RUNNING

The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards

compared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the

specifications of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like

deletion may take longer.

The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to

prevent image data from being deleted. By sliding the

switch to the bottom of the card, the data will be

protected. However, when the card is protected, images

cannot be recorded. If an attempt is made to record or

delete an image with the camera, the card-locked

message will appear and the LED lamps near the

viewfinder will turn red and blink quickly. For memory

card care and store see page 108.

If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the

inserted card in the camera may need to be formatted.

A card used in another camera may also have to be

formatted before being used. A card can be formatted in

the basic section of the setup menu (p. 74). When a

card is formatted, all the data on the card is permanently

erased.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING A MEMORY CARD ABOUT MEMORY CARDS

An SD (Secure Digital) Memory card or MultiMediaCard must be inserted for the camera

to operate. If a card has not been inserted, a no-card warning will appear on the LCD

monitor; the shutter can still be released and a single image can be captured (p. 55).

Always turn off the camera and confirm the indicator lamp is not orange and

blinking before changing the memory card, otherwise the card may be

damaged, and data lost.

Slide the battery-chamber door toward the bottom of

the camera to release the safety catch (1). Open the

door.

Insert the memory card all the way into the card slot

and then release (2). The card should catch in the slot.

Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the

camera. Always push the card in straight, never at an

angle. Never force the card. If the card does not fit,

check that it is orientated correctly. If a MultiMediaCard

is inserted incorrectly, it will lock, but the card chamber

door will not close.

To eject a memory card, press the card into the slot

and release (3). The card can now be pulled out.

Close the battery-chamber door and slide it toward the

top of the camera to engage the safety catch (4).
