Inserting a SD/MMC card (optional)

In addition to the built-in ﬂash

memory, your camera can store

data on a Secure Digital (SD) card

or a MultiMedia card (MMC).

To insert a memory card, gently

push the card as indicated until

the card reaches the bottom of the

slot. When the card is successfully

inserted, a icon will appear on

the LCD. To remove the memory

card, gently push the card and it

will pop up. Then pull the card out

of the slot.

The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the write-

protect switch is set to the Lock position, the card will become

non-writable. To ensure that the camera can operate normally,

you should set the write-protect switch to the Unlock position

before inserting the SD card.

Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is processing

data (when the LED indicates red light).

When a SD/MMC card is inserted, the camera will use the card

as the main storage medium. Files stored in the camera’s built-in

memory will become inaccessible until the SD/MMC card is

removed.
