Preparing Your Camera for Use
4
•
The camera must be used with the specified charger set. Damage caused by the use of an
incorrect charger set is not covered under the warranty. Always make sure that the
camera is off before removing the battery.
•
The battery may be warm after being charged or used. This is normal and not a
malfunction.
•
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.
2.3
Inserting and Removing an SD Memory Card
The camera is equipped with 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
camera 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.
Otherwise, 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.

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.
