Instructions on how to use the memory card Maintenance of the memory card Be sure to format the memory card (see p.71) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognise, or if it contains images captured with a different camera. Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed. Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card’s performance.
Instructions on how to use the memory card INFORMATION If you open the battery chamber cover when the camera power is turned on, the power will turn off automatically. Don’t remove the memory card when the camera status lamp(Green) is blinking as this may cause damage to data in the memory card. The camera can use SD Memory Cards and MMC (Multi Media Card). The SD memory card has a write protect switch that prevents image files from being deleted or formatted.
Inserting the memory card 1. Turn off the camera’s power and pull the battery chamber cover in the direction of the arrow to open. 2. Have the front of the memory card facing toward the front of the camera (lens) and the card pins toward the back of the camera (LCD monitor), and then push the memory card into the card slot until you hear a click. 3.
