The response time during recording and playback is longer with MultiMediaCards com-
pared with SD Memory Cards. This is not a defect, but rather due to the specifications
of the cards. When using large capacity cards, some operations like deletion may take
longer.
The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch to pre-
vent image data from being deleted. By sliding the switch
to the bottom of the card, the data will be protected.
However, when the card is protected, images cannot be
recorded. If an attempt is made to record or delete an
image with the camera, the card-locked message will
appear and the LED lamps near the viewfinder will turn
red and blink quickly. For memory card care and store
see page 90.
If the unable-to-use-card message appears, the inserted
card in the camera may need to be formatted. A card used in another camera may
also have to be formatted before being used. A card can be formatted in the setup 2
section of the playback menu (p. 58). When a card is formatted, all the data on the
card is permanently erased.

Installing and removing a memory card About memory cards
Insert the memory card all the way into the card slot and
then release (3). The card should catch in the slot.
• Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera.
Always push the card in straight, never at an angle. Never
force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is
orientated correctly.
• If a MultiMediaCard is inserted incorrectly, it will lock, but the
card chamber door will not close.
To eject a memory card, press the card into the slot and
release (4). The card can now be pulled out.
Close the battery-chamber door (5) and slide it toward
the top of the camera to engage the safety catch (6).
Slide the battery-chamber door toward the bottom of
the camera to release the safety catch (1). Open the
door (2).
An SD (Secure Digital) Memory card or MultiMediaCard
must be inserted for the camera to operate. If a card has
not been inserted, a no-card warning will appear on the
LCD monitor; the shutter can still be released.
Always turn off the camera and confirm the indicator lamp is not orange
and blinking before changing the memory card, otherwise the card may be
damaged, and data lost.
