Handling SD memory cards

The SD memory card can be removed and inserted, either before or after the power is turned on.

Inserting SD memory cards

Open the slot cover. (Fig. 1)

Insert the SD memory card into the SD memory card slot with the label side of the card upward, and close the slot cover. (Fig. 2)

NOTE

The SD memory card must be inserted with the correct side facing the SD card slot. If the SD memory card is hard to insert, it may be reversed or upside-down. Do not force it into the slot. Check the orientation of the card before reinserting it.
Cautions when using SD memory cards
- On the camera, use SD memory cards that conform to the SD standard, SDHC standard, or the SDXC standard.
- MMC (Multi Media Card) cannot be used. (Bear in mind that taking pictures may no longer be possible if you use them.)
- When using miniSD/microSD cards with the camera, always install the adaptor specially designed for miniSD/microSD cards. (The camera will not work properly if only the miniSD/microSD adaptor is installed. Make sure that the card has been inserted into the adaptor before use.)
- Use of Panasonic SD memory cards and miniSD/microSD cards is recommended. Be sure to format cards on the camera before use.
- Refer to our support desk at the following website for the latest information not included in this document.

Removing SD memory cards

After opening the card slot cover and making sure that the card access LED is not illuminated, push the SD memory card further into the camera and then release. The SD memory card is released from the card slot, so pull out the SD memory card and close the card slot cover.

Note the following points when using or storing memory cards.

Avoid high temperature and humidity.
Avoid water droplets.
Avoid charging with electricity.

Store the SD memory card with the card still inserted into the camera and with the slot cover closed.
