Open the card-slot cover (1) and make sure
the eject button is pressed all the way down
(2). Hold the card with the arrow (▲) fac-
ing away from you and insert it in the direc-
tion of the arrow (3), sliding it in until it is
firmly in place. Close the card slot cover (4).
Closing the Card-Slot Cover
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 be-
fore inserting memory cards.

again to partially eject the card (2). You can then
remove the card by hand.
