First Steps

Pictures are stored in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 13.5 MB) 
or on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards.  For information on com-
patible memory cards, see “Technical Notes: Optional Accessories” (

 

81).

If no memory card is inserted, pictures are recorded to, and played back and 
deleted from, the camera’s internal memory.  Formatting (

 

78) affects inter-

nal memory only.

If a memory card is inserted, the card is used for recording, playback, and de-
letion.  Formatting affects only the memory card, not internal memory.  The 
memory card must be removed from the camera before internal memory 
can be formatted or used to record, delete, or view pictures.

To insert a memory card:

1

 Confi rm that the power-on lamp is off

Turn  the camera off 

(

  before inserting or re-

moving memory cards.

 Insert the memory card

Slide the cover in the direction shown (

햲) until it opens (햳).  Slide the 

memory card in terminals fi rst until it clicks into place (

햴).

Check to be sure the card is in the correct orienta-
tion.  Inserting the card upside down or backwards 
could damage the camera or the card.

Before inserting the card, make sure that it is un-
locked.  If the card is locked, pictures can not be 
recorded, deleted, or edited and the card can not 
be formatted.
