See page 14 for information about supported memory cards and how to load a
memory card.
Press the memory card and then release it. This will cause it
to pop out of the memory card slot slightly. Pull the card out
the rest of the way and then insert another one.
• Never remove a card from the camera while the back
lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image
save operation to fail and even damage the memory card.
. Using a Memory Card
• SD memory cards and SDHC memory cards have a
write protect switch. Use the switch when you need to
guard against accidentally deleting data. Note,
however, if you write protect an SD memory card you
must then turn write protection off whenever you want
to record to it, format it, or delete any of its images.
• If a memory card starts to behave abnormally during
image playback, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it (page 132).
However, it is recommended that you always take along multiple memory cards
whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
• As you record data to and delete data from a memory card a number of times, it
loses its ability to retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of a memory
card is recommended.
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.)
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you may
experience problems saving high-quality (UHQ, UHQ Wide, HQ, and HQ Wide)
movies. Use of certain types of memory cards increase the time it takes to record
movies, which can cause movie frames to be lost. This condition is indicated by

flashing on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a maximum
transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
