Minolta DiMAGE S404 Instruction Manual page 19

Always turn off the camera and confirm the access lamp is not lit before inserting or
removing a CompactFlash card, otherwise the card may be damaged, and data lost.
Slide the card-slot door release down to open the card-slot door (1).
To eject a CompactFlash card, press the card-eject lever (2). The card can now be pulled out.
• Take care when removing the card as it becomes hot with use.
Insert the CompactFlash card into the card slot until the card-eject lever pops out (3).
• Insert the card so the face is toward the front of the camera. Always push the card in straight, never at an
angle. Never force the card. If the card does not fit, check that it is orientated correctly.
Close the card-slot door (4).
If the card-not-recognized message appears, the inserted card in the camera may need to be format-
ted. A card used in another camera may have to be formatted before being used. If the unable-to-
use-card message appears, the card is not compatible with the camera and cannot be formatted. A
card can be formatted in the basic section of the setup menu (p. 84). When a card is formatted, all
the data on the card is permanently erased.
