Tutorial-First Steps Step 3-Insert the Memory Card In place of film, your Nikon digital camera uses CompactFlash™ (CF) memory cards or IBM Microdrive® memory cards to store pictures. This step provides instructions on inserting memory cards. 3.1 Turn the camera off 3.2 Insert the memory card Open the card-slot cover (1) and make sure the eject button is pressed all the way down (2). Hold the card with the arrow (v) facing away from you and insert it in the direction of the arrow (3), sliding it in until it is firmly in place. Close the card slot cover (4). Closing the Card-Slot Cover If the eject button is up when the card-slot cover is closed, closing the cover will partially eject the memory card, causing errors when the camera is turned on. Be sure the eject button is down before inserting memory cards. Removing Memory Cards Memory cards can be removed without loss of data when the camera is off. To remove memory cards, turn the camera off and open the card-slot cover. Press the eject button to pop it up (1), then press it again to partially eject the card (2). You can then remove the card by hand. For more information on: 193 Approved memory cards 36
