The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Removing the Memory Card
• 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 and internal 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.
• The camera, battery, and memory card may be hot immediately
after using the camera. Observe caution when removing the
battery or memory card.
B Formatting a Memory Card
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be
sure to format it with this camera.
• All data stored on a memory card is permanently deleted when the card is formatted.
Be sure to save important images by transferring them to a computer before formatting.
• To format a memory card, insert the card into the camera, press any flexible button, and then
select Format card (E45) in the setup menu (A 80).
