    • Pull the card straight out, then close the cover.

Caution

Do not remove cards immediately after display of a red Temperature warning red icon in Live View shooting or movie recording. Cards may be hot, due to high internal camera temperature. Set the power switch to Power off and stop shooting for a while before removing cards. Removing hot cards immediately after shooting may cause you to drop and damage them. Be careful when removing cards.

Caution

  • When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being transferred. Do not open the card slot cover during this time. To avoid corrupting image data or damaging cards or the camera, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or blinking.

    • Removing the card.
    • Removing the battery.
    • Shaking or striking the camera.

    • Unplugging or plugging in a power cord
      (when using optional household power outlet accessories).

  • If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not start from 0001 ().

  • If a card-related error message is displayed on the screen, remove and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.

    If you can transfer images on the card to a computer, transfer all the images and then format the card with the camera (). The card may then return to normal.
