First Steps
Inserting Memory Cards
Pictures are stored in the camera’s internal memory (approximately 12 MB) or
on removable Secure Digital (SD) memory cards. For information on compat-
ible memory cards, see “Technical Notes: Optional Accessories” (
82).
If no memory card is inserted, pictures are recorded to, and played back and
deleted from, the camera’s internal memory. Formatting (
79) affects inter-
nal memory only.
If a memory card is inserted, the card is used for recording, playback, and de-
letion. Formatting affects only the memory card, not internal memory. The
memory card must be removed from the camera before internal memory
can be formatted or used to record, delete, or view pictures.
To insert a memory card:
1 Confi rm that the power-on lamp is off

locked. If the card is locked, pictures can not be
recorded, deleted, or edited and the card can not
be formatted.
