The Eject Button
If the eject button is up when the card-slot cover is closed,
closing the cover will partially eject the memory card, causing
errors when the camera is turned on. Be sure the eject button
is down before inserting memory cards.
Removing Memory Cards
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 memory card slot cover. Press the eject button
to pop it up (
ᕡ), then press it again to partially eject the card
(
ᕢ). The card can then be removed by hand. Note that
memory cards may become hot during use; observe due cau-
tion when removing memory cards.
Inserting Memory Cards
The camera stores pictures on CompactFlash ™ memory cards. See “Technical
Notes: Approved Memory Cards” ( 139) for a list of compatible cards.
1 Turn the camera off
2 Open the memory card slot cover
A yellow notice detailing memory card insertion is
placed in the memory card slot at shipment. Re-
move the notice and read the instructions.
3 Insert a memory card
Check that the eject button is all the way down
(
ᕡ) and then insert a memory card as shown in the
label inside the memory card slot cover (
ᕢ).
Inserting Memory Cards
Insert memory cards termi-
nals fi rst. Inserting the card
upside down or backwards
could damage the camera
or the card. Check to be
sure the card is in the correct
orientation.
