Inserting an SD memory card

Open the cover on the side of the camera.

Insert the SD memory card with the label facing the rear of the camera and the pins facing the front of the camera. Gently push the card with your finger until it clicks.
Note
If the camera’s indicator turns red, remove the SD memory card and confirm that the card is not write-protected. If the indicator is still red, the card must be formatted before it can be used (see 8.2 Formatting an SD Memory Card).

Press the FUNCTION button.
3.
Push the card slightly to eject it, then remove the card.

Close the cover.
Note
Make sure that SD memory card recording has stopped and that the card is not being accessed before removing the card. (The FUNCTION indicator will light while images are being recorded to the card.) We recommend pressing the FUNCTION button to stop SD memory card recording before ejecting the card. If the SD memory card is removed while it is being recorded to or accessed, the card may become unreadable and may need to be formatted (i.e., erased) again before use.
