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 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; before
editing or renaming fi les, copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies,
not the originals.
