Digital Camera Memory

Insert Media Carefully

SUMMARY: Media can only get inserted into a digital camera one way.

Make sure to insert your digital camera media carefully, whether it's in a digital camera or USB memory reader. Insert the media as per the manufacturer's instructions. Don't force memory in - you may have the card backwards. Forcing memory to fit could break the card, rendering an investment useless and possibly making it impossible to recover photos stored on the card.
