Figure 1-8:
When you finish shooting, you can retract the lens to reduce the camera size even
further.
The next time you turn on the camera,
the monitor displays the screen
shown in Figure 1-9, telling you that
the lens is locked. To unlock the lens,
just twist the zoom barrel clockwise.
You don't need to press the Unlock
switch.
Working with Memory
Cards
Instead of recording images on film,
digital cameras store pictures on
memory cards. The E-PL1 uses a spe-
cific type of memory card — an SD (Secure Digital) card — as shown in
Figure 1-10. You can also use the newer, high-capacity Secure Digital cards,
labeled SDHC.
Safeguarding your memory cards — and the images you store on them —
requires just a few precautions:
Handling cards: Don't touch the gold contacts on the back of the card.
(See the left card in Figure 1-10.) When cards aren't in use, store them
in the protective cases they came in or in a memory card wallet. Keep
cards away from extreme heat and cold as well.
