Inserting and Removing the SD Memory Card

(Optional Accessory)

The camera comes with 16 MB of internal memory, allowing you to store images
and video clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity
by using an optional SD memory card so that you can store more files.

Inserting the SD memory card

1. Make sure the camera is turned off.
2. Insert the SD memory card in the correct

orientation shown.

Removing the SD memory card

Make sure the camera is turned off. Press lightly on the edge of the SD memory
card and it will eject.

To prevent valuable data from being accidentally
erased from an SD memory card you can slide
the write-protected 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.

 

Be sure to format an SD memory card with this digital camera before using it.
Refer to section in this manual titled “Formatting the SD Memory Card or
Internal Memory” for further details.
