Inserting the Battery and Memory Card

Battery latch Memory card slot

• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).

• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).

• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as

data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep

before formatting the memory card.

• Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in

the setup menu (A120).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card

Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.

• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.

• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after

using the camera, as they may be hot.
