Hold the camera upside down to prevent the batteries from falling out, confirm
that the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals of the batteries are oriented
correctly, and insert the batteries.
Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).
Be careful not to insert the batteries or memory card upside-down or backward, as
this could cause a malfunction.
When closing the cover, slide it while securely holding down the area marked 7.

Formatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it with this camera.
Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other
data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A99).
