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 with the label facing forward into the sub slot, 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 inserted. 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. Also, make sure that the format is performed on the camera.

Removing SD memory cards

Avoid water droplets.
Avoid charging with electricity.

Use the SD memory card inserted in the camera and the slot cover closed.
