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).
