First make sure the sliding front cover is closed. Open the card cover door and note the
diagram on the inside. Match the orientation of the SmartMedia card to the diagram, and
slide the card into the slot as far as it will go. Close the cover until it locks into place; you will

TURNING ON THE CAMERA
Turn the camera ON (Shooting Mode)

then close the lens cover completely, and press the flash down until it locks into place.
TIP: To maximize battery life, the D-550 Zoom features a power saving mode in which
the camera enters a sleep mode after approximately three (3) minutes of non-use. Press
the shutter button or zoom lever to wake up the camera.
All you need to do is slide the lens cover open or closed to turn the
camera ON or OFF.
