Notes About Memory Cards
See “Memory Cards” ( F5) and the documentation included with your memory card for more
information.
Removing Memory Cards
Turn the camera off and be sure that the power-on lamp and the
monitor have turned off before opening the battery-chamber/
memory card slot cover.
Gently push the memory card into the camera (1) to partially
eject the card, and then remove the card (2). Do not pull it at an
angle.

High Temperature Caution
The camera, battery, and memory card may be hot immediately after using the camera. Observe
caution when removing the battery or memory card.
Internal Memory and Memory Cards
Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved in either the camera’s internal
memory (approximately 25 MB) or on a memory card. To use the camera’s internal memory
for shooting or playback, first remove the memory card.
