Inserting the SD/MMC card (optional) The SD card comes with a write-protect switch. When the

write-protect switch is set to the Lock position, the card

will become non-writable. To ensure that the camera can

operate normally, you should set the write-protect switch

to the Unlock position before inserting the SD card.

In addition to 16MB (128Mbits) built-in flash memory, your

camera can store data on a Secure Digital (SD) card or a

MultiMedia card (MMC). The supported memory size

ranges from 8MB to 256MB.

To insert a SD/MMC card, gently push the card as

indicated until the card reaches the end of the slot. Note

that once a SD/MMC card is inserted, the camera will use

the card as the main storage media. Files stored in the

camera's built-in memory will become inaccessible until

the SD/MMC card is removed.

To remove the SD/MMC card, gently push the card. After the

card pops up, pull the card out of the slot.

Do not remove the SD/MMC card while the camera is

processing data (when the LED is flashing).
