- Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (3).
- Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as this could cause a malfunction.

The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, make sure to format it with this camera.

Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before formatting the memory card.
Insert the memory card into the camera, press the button, and select the setup menu [Format card].

Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.
Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after using the camera, as they may be hot.
