• Using the SD (Secure Digital) Card or MMC Card
Your camera comes with approximately 7MB of built-in flash memory for storing pictures/video clip/ audio.
You can expand memory using a commercially available SD Card/MMC Card. The camera senses whether a
memory card is inserted, and automatically saves pictures accordingly. Note that you can not save pictures
to built-in flash memory while a memory card is installed in the camera.
IMPORTANT!
• Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card.
• Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance.
• Though the camera also supports use of an MMC (MultiMediaCard) in place of an SD memory card, the data processing speed in the case of
an MMC is much slower than that for an SD memory card. Because of this , we recommend that you choose an SD memory card whenever
possible.
• SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of picture data. “Whenever you want
t orecord, format or delete item in the SD Card, you must disable write protection before any of above to action.”

Turn off the camera and open the SD card slot cover as illustrated. Insert the SD card/MMC Card, ensure the
card is inserted the correct position as illustrated, close the card door before using the camera.
Removing the SD (Secure Digital) Card/ MMC Card
To remove the SD card, turn off camera , open the SD card slot cover, gently use your finger to push the SD
card inwards and then release it for the SD card to bounce out of the SD card slot as illustrated.
IMPORTANT!
• Never insert any other object which is not SD Card or MMC Card into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damage to the camera
and card.
• Make sure that the terminals of the memory card is facing towards the front of the camera.
• Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC
adaptor, and contact your dealer or nearest service provider.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the camera is powered on. Doing so can cause the picture record operation to fail, and even
damage the memory card.
Format the SD Card/MMC Card or the Internal Memory
Formatting a memory card will deletes all data already stored on it.
1. Select the Capture/playback selector to Capture Mode
2. Pull left to open the LCD panel
3. Press the Power On/Off button until the LCD on
4. Press UP and DOWN button to select “VIDEO” or “STILL IMAGE” on the LCD Display

8. Press RIGHT button
9. Press UP and DOWN button and select “YES” to format card(SD/MMC card) or format
memory(internal)
10. Press to confirm Format
Remarks:
When SD Card or MMC Card inserted, Internal Memory will be disable.
IMPORTANT!
• You can format a memory card on the camera or on a computer. However formatting a memory card on a computer takes much longer time.
• Note that data deleted by a format operation can not be recovered. Make sure you do not need any data currently stored on a memory card before
you format it.
• Formatting a memory card that contains pictures deletes all the pictures, even those that are protected.
Memory Card Precautions
1. Use only a SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed
when any other type of card is used.
2. Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even
lost. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard
disk, etc.).
3. If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it.
However, we recommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the
camera far away from the home or office.
4. We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the first time after purchasing it, or
whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Also format a memory
card if it was used in another digital camera or other device.
