Installing the SD Card
Write Protect Tab
The SD card has a write protect tab. Sliding the tab downward prevents recording of data and protects existing data (e.g. images). When recording to, erasing from or formatting the SD card, slide the tab upward.

Ensure that the SD card is correctly oriented before inserting it in the camera. It may damage the camera if inserted backward by mistake. |
Turn the camera power off and insert the SD card with the following procedures.
- Slide the SD card slot/battery cover in the direction of the arrows.
