5. PREPARATION

Loading the Battery into the Camera

Please load the NP60 battery pack into the charger according to following steps:

1. Slide the battery compartment cover open in the direction as indicated

2. Face the battery up with letter side upward. Follow the battery injection direction according to the correct

polarity marks (+ or-) and plug the battery into camera

3. After the batteries are properly installed, close the battery compartment door firmly

Note:

u Please fully charge Li-ion battery pack for at least three hours before using camera. u If you remove the battery from the camera, you will need to set the date and time again the next time you

reinsert the battery and use the camera.

Inserting and Removing an SD Card (Optional)

The video camera comes with 64 MB pre-build memory which allows you to store pictures, movies, recorded voice. You can expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD or MMC memory card up to 512MB. To insert a memory card, refer to the figure above and:

WWW.MANUALS.WS

1. Open the SD card cover

2. Insert the memory card until it locks into position

To remove an installed SD card, press the card inwards to release it. When the card pops out, gently remove it from its slot.

Note:

l Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is processing data (when the LED is flashing).

When a memory card is fitted, movies and pictures are saved on card rather than on the built-in

memory. And, the SD card icon will be shown on LDC display.

l It may be necessary to format the SD card the first time it is used; especially if the card has been

used in devices other than your camera. To format, see [Format] in SETUP MODE (see page 19).

l If the Built-in memory/ SD card is full, the LCD display will show "MEMORY FULL" flashing in

red color. If the SD card is write-protected, the SD card icon will change in red color.

Protecting Data on an SD Card

The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the write-protect switch is set to the Lock position, the card will become non-writable. To ensure that the camera can operate normally, you should set the writeprotect switch to the Unlock position before inserting the SD card.

If you insert a write-protected card, the media icon on the LCD display will become red.

l Listed below is the approximate number of images that can be stored cards in 64MB built-in memory.

Actual capacity may vary (up to + 5%) depending on the environment and color condition.
