Preparing for Shooting
Press the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch release (1) and
rotate the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch (2) to open the
cover (3).
With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move
the orange battery latch (4), and fully insert the battery (5).
Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (6).
Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or
backward, as this could cause a malfunction.
Close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (7) and, while pressing
it firmly against the camera so that the red portion on the side of the cover is
hidden, rotate the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch until it
clicks into place (8).
Make sure that the cover is securely locked.
B Formatting a Memory Card
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. Insert the memory card into the
camera, press the d button, and select Format card in the setup menu (A78).
B Notes About Closing the Cover without Getting the Camera Strap
or Cord Caught
If the camera strap’s cord gets caught in the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover when it is closed, the cover could be damaged. Before closing the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover, make sure that the strap or cord does not get
caught in it.
