Install a Memory Card Into a Digital Camera
Digital cameras make taking pictures more convenient because you don't have to carry loads of rolls of film with you or wait until it is developed to see your pictures. However, many digital cameras have a very small built-in memory, which limits the number of pictures you can take. Most models allow you the option of adding a memory card to the camera, which can allow you to take hundreds or thousands of pictures as opposed to 10. While it may not be a difficult task to perform, if you do not install a memory card into your digital camera correctly, you can ruin the card and possibly the camera.
Instructions
1. Make sure the camera is off and slide open the cover that protects the memory card slot. In most digital cameras, this is in the battery area. If it is not there on your particular brand of camera, consult your user guide.
2. Look at your memory card, and on the back there will be metal contacts. Do not touch these contacts or expose them to dirt. Insert the memory card into the memory card slot with the metal contacts facing down into the camera. If you meet resistance when trying to insert the card, do not push. You may have it facing the wrong direction. Remove the card, flip it, and try inserting it again.
3. Slide the card slowly into the slot, and keep pressing on it gently until you feel it "click" into place.
4. Re-cover the memory slot compartment. To remove the card, gently press down on it until you feel it "click" and release, and then slide it out of the camera.
