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
this could cause a malfunction.
• If the write-protect switch of the memory card is locked, you cannot shoot, delete
images, or format the memory card.
• Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved either on a memory card
or in the internal memory. To use the internal memory, remove the memory card.
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.

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 (A97).

• 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.

Charging the Battery
Power-on lamp (charge lamp)
Electrical outlet
USB cable (included)
Charging AC Adapter*
* A plug adapter is attached depending on the country or region of purchase. The
shape of the plug adapter varies with the country or region of purchase.
• Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the
battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp)
slowly flashes while the battery is charging.
• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off. Unplug the
Charging AC Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.
Charging time is about 2 hours for a fully exhausted battery.
• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp (charge lamp) quickly
flashes, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.
- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.
- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.
- The battery is damaged.
B Notes About the USB Cable
• Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21
could result in overheating, fire, or electric shock.
• Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an
angle.
