The following describes how to insert and remove the SD card:
Insert the SD card into the card slot with its label side
upwards
.
A "click" sound indicates that the card is installed
successfully. If the wrong side of the card is facing up, you
will not be able to insert it without force, there is only one
correct way to insert cards. If the SD card is not installed
correctly, the device will not display an SD card icon on the
screen in
ON
mode
.
Formatting the SD card
by using the
camera's "Format SD Card" menu option before first use is
recommended, especially when a card has been used in

To take out the SD card, just gently push in the card (do not
try to pull it out without pushing in first). The card is
released from the slot and ready to be removed when you
