Replacing the Memory Card 1. Remove the memory card from the camera. Press the memory card and then release it, so it comes part way out. Pull the card out the rest of the way by hand. 2. Load the other memory card. IMPORTANT! • Never insert anything besides a supported memory card (page 47) into the memory card slot. • Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery, and contact your retailer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. • Never remove a card from the camera while the operation lamp is flashing green. Doing so can cause the image save operation to fail and even damage the memory card. Formatting a Memory Card Before using a new memory card for the first time, you need to format it. Once you format a memory card, you will not need to format it each time you use it. Formatting a memory card that already has files on it will delete its contents. IMPORTANT! • Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation cannot be recovered. Double-check to make sure that you really want to delete all the contents of the memory card before proceeding with the format operation. • Even if the file data on a memory card is protected (page 182), formatting the card will delete all its data. • 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 memory card or SDHC memory card, formatting on a computer can result in nonconformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc. GETTING READY 49
