The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Removing the Memory Card
• Turn the camera off and be sure that the power-on lamp and
the monitor have turned off before opening the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover.
Gently push the memory card into the camera (1) to partially
eject the card, and then remove the card (2). Do not pull it at
an angle.
• The camera, battery, and memory card may be hot immediately
after using the camera. Observe caution when removing the
battery or memory card.
Internal Memory and Memory Cards
Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved in either the camera’s internal
memory (approximately 20 MB) or on a memory card. To use the camera’s internal memory
for shooting or playback, first remove the memory card.
B Formatting a Memory Card
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be
sure to format it with this camera.
• All data stored on a memory card is permanently deleted when the card is formatted.
Copy any data on the card that you wish to keep to a computer before formatting.
• To format a memory card, insert the card into the camera, press the d button, and select
Format card (E54) in the setup menu (A 86).
