First Steps
Inserting the Battery and a Memory Card
• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is re-
paired. Please note that the repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in
which pictures are stored. Do not rename or delete this folder or use a computer or
other device to edit, delete, or rename image fi les. Always use the camera to delete
pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming fi les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
