Insert the memory card in the slot (A), being sure that the card terminals
are fully inserted in the connector at the back of the slot. The card
should be inserted facing the
▲ CARD label next to the card slot.

Important: Do not attempt to insert the card upside down or
backwards. Do not use force when inserting the card. Either
action could damage your camera.
Fold the eject button over and close the cover (B). If the button is not folded
over when the cover is closed, closing the door may partially eject the card,
causing errors in recording photographs or during playback.
