Inserting Memory Cards
The camera is equipped with two memory card slots (Slots 1 and 2), allowing simultaneous use of two
- Turn the camera off before inserting or removing memory cards.
Holding the memory card in the orientation shown, slide it straight into the slot until it clicks into place.
- If this is the first time the card will be used in the camera, format it using [Format memory card] in the setup menu.
Number of Exposures Remaining
- The shooting display shows the number of photographs that can be taken at current settings.
- Values over 1000 are rounded down to the nearest hundred. For example, values between 1500 and 1599 are shown as 1.5 k.
- If no memory cards are inserted, an [–E–] indicator will be displayed.
If two memory cards are inserted, the camera displays only the number of exposures remaining on one card. The display of exposures remaining on either memory card depends on the camera settings below.
- When [Overflow] is selected for [Role played by card in Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu, the number of exposures remaining on the card on which the image is recorded is displayed (0 Role played by card in Slot 2).
- When an option other than [Overflow] is selected for [Role played by card in Slot 2] in the photo shooting menu, the number of exposures remaining on the card with the least amount of space available is displayed (0 Role played by card in Slot 2).
- While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the frame-count display will show the number of pictures that can be stored in the memory buffer as “rXXX” (0 The Memory Buffer).
SD memory cards are equipped with a write-protect switch. Sliding the switch to the “lock” position write-protects the card, protecting the data it contains.
- A “– – –” indicator and a [Card] warning appear in the shooting display when a write-protected card is inserted.
- If you attempt to release the shutter while a write-protected card is inserted, a warning will be displayed and no picture will be recorded. Unlock the memory card before attempting to take or delete pictures.
Removing Memory Cards
After confirming that the memory card access lamp is off, turn the camera off, open the memory card slot cover, and press the card in to eject it (q). The card can then be removed by hand (w).
