Removable Memory Card

The camera uses a removable memory card, also referred to as a CompactFlash or KODAK Picture Card, for storing your pictures. The camera cannot take pictures without the memory card. You can erase or protect the picture data on the card and then reuse it. To reformat a memory card, see Format Card Preferences.

The removable memory card contains no moving parts. It stores information and retains it when the card is removed from your camera or until you either delete it or reformat the card. Normal magnetic interference and airport x-rays do not harm the stored information.

The KODAK Picture Card is furnished with your camera. Additional memory cards are available from dealers of KODAK products or from www.kodak.com/go/accessories. Any standard CompactFlash card that is "CF" certified will function properly.

Inserting the Memory Card

  1. Open the memory card door.
  2. Insert the memory card so that the:
    • pin-connector edge of the card enters the camera first
    • small lip on the memory card is toward the front of the camera
  3. Close the door.

Removing the Memory Card

  1. Open the memory card door.
  2. Flip the memory card Release button so it protrudes out from the side of the camera.

    Caution CAUTION
    Do not press the Release button if the red LED under the button is on or blinking. Ejecting the card while this LED is on can result in the loss of all data on the card.

  3. Press Release to release the memory card from the camera.
  4. Pull the memory card out of the camera.
