							USING A MEMORY CARD

USING A MEMORY CARD
You can expand the storage
capabilities of your camera by using
a commercially available memory
card (SD memory card or
MultiMediaCard). You can also
copy files from built-in flash
memory to a memory card and from
a memory card to flash memory.
•Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When
you insert a memory card, however, the camera
automatically stores files to the card.
•Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a
memory card is installed in the camera. IMPORTANT! 
•Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard
with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed
when any other type of card is used.
•See the instructions that come with the memory card
for information about how to use it.
•Certain types of cards can slow down processing
speeds.
•SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which
you can use to protect against accidental deletion of
image data. Note, however, if you write protect an
SD memory card, you must remove write protection
whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete
any of its files.
•Electrostatic charge, digital noise, and other
phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or
even lost. Always maintain backup copies of
important data on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, MO
disc, computer hard disk, etc.)

2.Positioning the memory
card so its back is facing in
the same direction as the
camera’s monitor screen,
carefully slide it into the
card slot. Slide the card all
the way in until you hear it
click securely into place.
3.Swing the battery cover
closed, and then slide it in
the direction indicated by
the arrow.
Using a Memory Card
 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.
To insert a memory card into the camera
1.Slide the battery cover in
the direction indicated by

Formatting a Memory Card
Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored
on it.
 IMPORTANT! 
•Be sure to use the camera to format a memory card.
Formatting a memory card on a computer and then
using it in the camera can slow down data
processing by the camera. In the case of an SD card,
formatting on a computer can result in non-
conformity with the SD format, causing problems with
compatibility, operation, etc.
•Note that data deleted by a memory card format
operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure
you do not need any of the data on the memory card
before you format it.
•Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes
all the files, even those that are protected (page
128).
To remove a memory card from the
camera
1.Press the memory card into
the camera and then release
it. This will cause the card to
come part way out of the
camera.
2.Pull the memory card out of the slot.
 IMPORTANT! 
•Never insert any other object besides a memory card
into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk
of damage to the camera and card.
•Should water or any foreign object ever get into the
card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove
the battery, and contact your dealer or nearest
CASIO authorized service center.
•Never remove a card from the camera while the
green operation lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause
the file save operation to fail, and even damage the
memory card.

 Memory Card Precautions
•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.
•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 images.
•As you record data to and delete data from an SD
memory card a number of times, it loses its ability to
retain data. Because of this, periodic re-formatting of an
SD memory card is recommended.
•Before starting a format operation, check to make sure
that the battery is fully charged. Power interruption during
the format operation can result in improper formatting,
and even damage the memory card and make it
unusable.

 To format a memory card
1.Load the memory card into the camera.
2.Turn on the camera, and press [MENU].
3.Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and
then press [].
4.Use [] and [] to select “Format”, and then
press [SET].
•To exit the format operation without formatting,
select “Cancel”.
