Closing the Card-Slot Cover

If the eject button is up when the card-slot cover is
closed, closing the cover will partially eject the memory

cards.

The memory card supplied with the camera is formatted at shipment. Other memory
cards must be formatted before fi rst use. For information on formatting memory
cards, see “Shooting Menu Options: CF Card Format” (

Memory cards can be removed without loss of data
when the camera is off. To remove memory cards, turn
the camera off and open the card slot cover. Press the
eject button to pop it up (
