Using a Memory Card
Your camera stores pictures on a removable Compact Flash memory
storage card. A 4 MB Compact Flash card is included with the
camera kit. You may purchase additional cards in varying sizes.
The camera does not contain internal storage memory; therefore, the
camera will not operate if a memory card is not inserted. The
camera’s Status LCD displays an error if you try to operate the
camera without a memory storage card. If you try to use the camera
without a CF card, the camera will also generate a volley of quick
beeps – if sounds are enabled.
To insert a CF memory card:
1 Make sure the camera power is off.
2 Hold the camera with the front facing you and open
the rubber flap covering the memory card slot.
3 Hold the memory card with the end containing the
connectors pointing in towards the camera and the
label of the CF card towards the front of the camera.
4 Insert the card into the memory card slot and push it all
the way in. The edge of the card should be flush with
the camera slot when the card is properly inserted.
5 Close the rubber cover.
6 The camera will recognize the CF card and the camera
will turn on.
7 Turn the camera off if you do not plan to use it immediately.
To remove the memory card:
1 Make sure the camera power is off.
2 Hold the camera with the bottom facing you and open
the rubber flap covering the memory card slot.
3 Slide the Card Eject switch on the bottom of your
camera until the memory storage card is released from
the slot.
4 Remove the memory storage card from the camera.
5 Note: The camera will briefly display the “No Card” icon nine to ten times.
When your camera's CF memory card is full, the picture count on the Status LCD changes to "0", the ready
light shines solid red, and the camera beeps repeatedly when you press the Shutter button. To take more
pictures when the memory card is full:
♦ Delete some of the pictures on the memory card.
♦ Download the pictures to your computer and then erase them from the memory card.
♦ Replace the full memory card with one containing free space.
