camera or card.
• Do not touch the card terminals with your fingers or metal objects.

[] The Write Protect Switch
Memory cards are equipped with a write protect switch to

"lock" position, photos can not be recorded or deleted and
the memory card can not be formatted. To unlock the
memory card, slide the switch to the "write" position.
