You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a
commercially available memory card (SD memory card or MultiMediaCard). You
can also copy files from built-in flash memory to a memory card and vice versa.
• Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When you insert a
memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card.
• Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is
installed in the camera.
• Use only SD memory card or MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when
any other type of card is used.
• Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds.
• SD memory cards have a write-protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must switch OFF write-
protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files.
INSERTING AN SD CARD
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Slide the SD card slot/battery compartment lid in the
direction of the arrows to open the cover. (fig. 1)
3. Positioning the memory card so its back (the side with
metal contact slots) is facing in the same direction as
the camera’s monitor screen, carefully insert it into the
card slot, then gently push it in until it clicks. (If the card
does not insert properly into the slot do not push it in by
force. As it could damage either the card and/or the
camera.) (fig. 2)
4. Slide the SD card slot/battery compartment lid in the
direction of the arrows to close the cover. (fig. 3)
