- 20 - First Steps: Inserting and Removing Memory Cards
Inserting and Removing Memory Cards
The COOLPIX 900 records photographs on compact flash-
memory cards. The camera is sold with an eight-megabyte
memory card; additional cards of up to forty-eight megabytes
can be purchased separately.
Note: When buying memory cards for the COOLPIX 900, it is
recommended that you purchase Nikon-made cards. Other cards
may not perform to specifications.
You will need to insert a memory card in your camera before
you will be able to take photographs. Cards can only be in-
serted in, and removed from, the camera when the selector dial
is set to OFF.
✔Caution: Inserting memory cards when the power is on could
render the card unusable.
If the camera is on a tripod, remove it from the tripod before
inserting or removing memory cards. To insert a card, turn the
camera upside down. Then lift the card-slot cover up and flip it
open.

Insert the card as shown below, sliding it in until it is firmly in
place at the back of the slot.
✔Caution: Be sure to insert the card as shown in the illustra-
tion, with the connectors towards the bottom of the slot and the
label facing out. Inserting the card upside-down or backwards
could result in damage to the camera or to the card.
Compact flash memory cards can be removed from the camera
without loss of data. Once removed from the camera, the
cards can be stored or placed in a card adapter (sold sepa-
rately) to be read by any computer equipped with a Type II PC
card slot. Before removing the card from the camera, turn the
selector dial to OFF. If the camera is on a tripod, remove it
from the tripod. Turn the camera upside down, lift up the card-
slot cover and flip it open. Push the card-release button until
the card can be removed by hand.
✔Caution: Memory cards may become hot during use. Ob-
serve due caution when removing memory cards immediately after
the power has been turned off.
