Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and the mon­itor have gone out before removing or inserting the batteries.

If no operations are performed for about 30 seconds, the monitor will turn off; after a further three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically.

Memory Cards
By default, pictures are stored in the camera’s internal memory. If desired, a removable Secure Digital (SD) memory card can be used for additional stor­age. Internal memory is used for recording and deletion only if no memory card inserted.
To insert a memory card: 1 If the power-on lamp is blinking or monitor is turned on, press the power
switch to turn the camera off.
2 Open the memory card slot cover and slide the memory card in until it
clicks into place. Insert the card as shown below; do not insert it upside down or backwards. After inserting the memory card, close the memory card slot cover.

off or remove the battery or memory card until formatting is complete. Note that formatting permanently deletes all pictures and other data on the memory card. Before formatting, be sure
to make copies of any pictures you wish to keep.
