USING A MEMORY CARD USING A MEMORY CARD You can expand the storage capabilities of your camera by using a commercially available memory card (SD memory card or MultiMedia Card). You can also copy files from built-in flash memory to a memory card and from a memory card to flash memory. IMPORTANT! • Make sure you turn off the camera before inserting or removing a memory card. • Be sure to orient the card correctly when inserting it. Never try to force a memory card into the slot when you feel resistance. • See the instructions that come with the memory card for information about how to use it. • Certain types of cards can slow down processing speeds. • SD memory cards have a write protect switch, which you can use to protect against accidental deletion of image data. Note, however, if you write protect an SD memory card, you must remove write protection whenever you want to record to it, format it, or delete any of its files. • Normally, files are stored in built-in flash memory. When you insert a memory card, however, the camera automatically stores files to the card. • Note that you cannot save files to built-in memory while a memory card is installed in the camera. 107 USING A MEMORY CARD IMPORTANT! Using a Memory Card • Never insert any other object besides a memory card into the camera’s card slot. Doing so creates the risk of damage to the camera and card. • If you are not using a memory card, be sure to insert the dummy card into this slot to protect against dust and damage. • The dummy card is intended for use with this camera only. Never insert it into the card slot of any other type of device. • Should water or any foreign object ever get into the card slot, immediately turn off the camera, remove the battery, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. • Never remove a card from the camera while the operation/flash charge lamp is flashing. Doing so can cause the file save operation to fail, and even damage the memory card. To insert a memory card into the camera 1. Making sure that the contacts of the memory card are facing towards the top of the camera, carefully insert the card into the slot as far as it will go. Contacts To remove a memory card from the camera 1. Press the memory card into the camera and then release it. This will cause the card to come part way out of the camera. 2. Pull the memory card out of the slot. 108 USING A MEMORY CARD Formatting a Memory Card 1. Load the memory card into the camera. Formatting a memory card deletes any data already stored on it. 2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the REC mode or PLAY mode and press [MENU]. IMPORTANT! 3. Select the “Set Up” tab, select “Format”, and • 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 card, formatting on a computer can result in nonconformity with the SD format, causing problems with compatibility, operation, etc. • Note that data deleted by a memory card format operation cannot be recovered. Check to make sure you do not need any of the data on the memory card before you format it. • Formatting a memory card that contains files deletes all the files, even those that are protected (page 86). then press [왘]. 4. Use [왖] and [왔] to select “Format”, and then press [SET]. • To exit the format operation without formatting, select “Cancel”. 109 USING A MEMORY CARD Memory Card Precautions Copying Files • Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used. • Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.) • If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office. • We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal images. • Before starting a format operation, check to make sure that the battery is fully charged. Power interruption during the format operation can result in improper formatting, and even damage the memory card and make it unusable. Use the procedures below to copy files between built-in memory and a memory card. IMPORTANT! • Only snapshot and movie files recorded with this camera can be copied. Other files cannot be copied. To copy all the files in built-in memory to a memory card 1. Load the memory card into the camera. 2. Turn on the camera. Next, enter the PLAY mode and press [MENU]. 3. Select the “PLAY” tab, select “Copy”, and then press [왘]. 110 USING A MEMORY CARD 4. Use [왖] and [왔] to select “Built-in 4.

When transferring memory contents to a hard disk, CD-R, MO disk, or other external storage, treat all the contents inside a DCIM folder as a set and always keep them together. You can change the name of the DCIM folder on your computer. Changing the name to a date is a good way to keep track of multiple DCIM folders. However, if you even want to copy the folders back to the camera’s file memory, be sure you change the name of the DCIM folder back to “DCIM” first. The camera does not recognize any folder name other than DCIM. • We also strongly recommend that after transferring data from file memory to other external storage that you reformat the camera’s file memory and delete its contents before using it to store more files. Remember that formatting memory deletes all of its contents. Check to make sure that you no longer need any of the files in memory before you format it. 126 USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER USING THE CAMERA WITH A COMPUTER The album feature of the camera creates files that make it possible for you to view images on your computer in a photo album layout. You can also use the applications contained on the CD-ROM that comes bundled with the camera to automate image transfer and to retouch images. • You can use the Web browser shown below to view or print the contents of an album.
