Inserting   SD   memory   card   

   

NOTE:    Make    sure    camera    is    in    the    OFF    position    whenever    adding    or   

removing   memory.   

   

 

Insert    SD    memory    card    in    to    the    SD    card    slot    completely    and    in    the   

correct    direction    as    shown    by    the    sticker    located    at    the    side    of    the   

housing.   

 

To    remove    the    SD    memory    card,    depress    the    SD    card    and    pull    out    the   

card   gently.   

 

SD   cards   must   be   clean   (no   images   from   other   sources).   If   you   are   using   

the   SD   card   from   other   cameras,   please   make   sure   to   format   the   SD   card   
in   your   computer   prior   to   use   in   your   camera.      New   cards   are   good   to   use   
straight   from   the   package.   

   

FORMAT    –    Definition:

    When    you    format    a    SD    memory    card,    the    operating   

system   erases   all   information   and   files   on   the   card.   Then   it   creates   an   internal   
address    tables    that    it    later    uses    to    locate    information    and    files.    Formatting   
also    removes    all    Hidden    System    files    as    well.    Basically    it    cleans    your    SD   
memory    card    just    like    if    it    was    brand    new.    Please    make    sure    to    follow    the   
guidelines   listed   below:   
   
SD   Card   size:   2Gb   or   below,   format   using   File   System   type
