INSTALLING THE CARD
Your camera has an internal 32MB memory, which means that you can take 
photos (record image data) even when no card is installed. By using a card, 
however, you will be able to take many more photos.
The card can be used after it has been formatted with the camera (page 137).
1 Open the battery/card cover.
hWhile gently pressing the battery/card cover, slide it open.
2 Insert the card, and close the battery/card cover.
hFirmly insert the card until it clicks into place.

Shooting without a card installed
iThe camera has a 32MB internal memory that lets you photograph and 
play back images even when there is no card installed. When the camera 
is turned on with no card installed, the internal memory icon   is shown 
on the LCD monitor to let you know that the images you capture will be 
saved to the camera’s internal memory.

POWER FOR THE CAMERA
The supplied AC adaptor is used not only as the camera’s AC adaptor, but 
also to charge the battery installed in the camera.
Using the battery pack
At the time of purchase, the battery pack is not charged. The battery pack 
must be charged before it can be used in the camera. Also, if the battery 
power becomes depleted when the camera is being used (see CHECKING 
THE REMAINING BATTERY PACK CHARGE [page 142]), it should be 
recharged as soon as possible.

About the internal backup battery
iThis camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time 
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully 
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about 
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the 
camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack
iA small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it 
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the 
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the 
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may 
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the 
camera settings are correct.
