Quick Start Basics

To replace the memory card

Press the memory card and then release it.
This will cause it to pop out of the memory
card slot slightly. Pull the card out the rest
of the way and then insert another one.

• Never remove a card from the camera

while the back lamp is flashing green.
Doing so can cause the image save
operation to fail and even damage the
memory card.

Format a memory card on the camera before using it for the first time.

IMPORTANT!

• Formatting a memory card that already has snapshots or other files on it, will delete

its contents. Normally you do not need to format a memory card again. However, if
storing to a card has slowed down or if you notice any other abnormality, re-format
the card.

• Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card. Formatting a card on a

computer will result in a non-SD standard format, which can greatly slow down
processing time and cause compatibility, performance, and other problems.
