Inserting a SD/MMC card (optional)
In addition to the built-in flash
memory, your camera can store
data on a Secure Digital (SD) card
or a MultiMedia card (MMC).
To insert a memory card, gently
push the card as indicated until
the card reaches the bottom of the
slot. When the card is successfully
inserted, a icon will appear on
the LCD. To remove the memory
card, gently push the card and it
will pop up. Then pull the card out
of the slot.
The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the write-
protect switch is set to the Lock position, the card will become
non-writable. To ensure that the camera can operate normally,
you should set the write-protect switch to the Unlock position
before inserting the SD card.
Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is processing
data (when the LED indicates red light).
When a SD/MMC card is inserted, the camera will use the card
as the main storage medium. Files stored in the camera’s built-in
memory will become inaccessible until the SD/MMC card is
removed.
