Preparing Your DC P500 for Use
4
•
When using the camera in cold environments, keep the camera and its battery warm by
holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.
•
You can also charge the battery through a USB port, which is especially convenient in
your business travel.
2.3
Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card
The DC
P500
is equipped with 32 MB internal memory, allowing you to record video clips,
capture images, or make voice files in the camera. You can also expand the memory capacity
by using an optional SD (Secure Digital) memory card to store more files.
1. Always make sure the camera is turned off before
inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Insert an SD memory card in the correct direction,
as shown in the illustration.
3. Close the battery/SD memory card cover.
To remove the SD memory card, make sure the
camera is turned off. Press lightly on the edge of the
memory card and it will eject.
•
Be sure to format the SD memory card with this cam-
era before the initial use.
•
To prevent valuable data from being accidentally
erased from an SD memory card, you can slide the
write-protect tab (on the side of the SD memory card)
to “LOCK”.
•
To save, edit, or erase data on an SD memory card,
you must unlock the card.
•
While formatting the internal memory, do not insert a memory card into the camera. Oth-
erwise, the memory card is formatted instead of the camera’s internal memory.
•
Formatting is an irreversible action and data cannot be recovered at a later time. Back up
your data before formatting.
•
An SD memory card having read or write problems may not be properly formatted.
2.4

Before using your camera for the first time, please set the date and time. For more
information, refer to the table in 3.4.1 “Setup Mode Menu” on page 20.
