Inserting and Removing the SD / Multimedia Card
This camera can be used with either an SD card or a Multimedia card (MMC).
When traveling and capturing a lot of images, it is convenient to make use of an SD or a Multimedia card. When a card is
inserted into the camera, still images/video clips captured will be stored in the card’s memory.
When the card is removed, the camera’s internal memory will be used as the storage media.
Notes:
z
SD and Multimedia cards are purchased separately.
z
Pay attention to the card direction when inserting. Wrong direction and forced insert can break it.
z
When the memory card is inserted, access to the camera's internal memory is not possible.
z
Cards available in the market, and those already formatted for PC and other devices may not be identified by this
camera. Therefore, before using them, it is necessary to
format
them first with this camera.

While the power of the camera is on, do not open the battery cover to replace the memory card or batteries as this
may cause irrecoverable corruption of card data.
z
The memory card is a sensitive device so it should not be subject to any shock. Do not touch the metal part of the
card with your hand.
z
When the memory card is write-protected, it cannot be used (A message “WRITE PROTECT” will appear on the LCD
monitor). You have to disable the write-protection first.
