Inserting Memory Cards
• If the eject button is up when the card-slot
cover is closed, closing the cover will par-
tially eject the memory card, causing er-
rors when the camera is turned on. Be
sure the eject button is down (i.e., in po-
sition ) before inserting memory cards.
• Insert memory cards terminals (two rows
of small holes) first.
• Be sure the memory card is oriented cor-
rectly before trying to insert the card, oth-
erwise you may damage the camera or
card.

Formatting Memory Cards
While the memory card provided with your camera is formatted at shipment,
other memory cards must be formatted before first use. For more informa-
tion on formatting cards, see “Formatting Memory Cards” (
135).
Removing Memory Cards
Memory cards can be removed without loss of
data when the camera is off. To remove a
memory card, turn the camera off and open the
card-slot cover. Press the eject button to pop it
up to position
(1), and press it again to par-
tially eject the card (2). Then remove the card by
hand.
Hot Memory Cards
Memory cards may become hot during use. Observe due caution when re-
moving memory cards from the camera.
