Memory Card Precautions
Images cannot be recorded with this camera unless a
memory card is installed in it.
Be sure to use only CASIO or SanDisk CompactFlash
cards, or an IBM Microdrive. Proper operation is not guar-
anteed with other memory cards.
Static electricity, electrical noise, and other electrical phe-
nomena can cause corruption or even total loss of data
stored on a memory card. Because of this, you should al-
ways make backup copies of important images on other
media.
Memory card problems can be corrected by reformatting
the memory card. Reformatting a memory card deletes all
images stored on the card, but you can use a computer to
copy the images you want to keep to the computers hard
disk before reformatting your card. If you plan to be record-
ing images where you do not have access to a computer, it
is a good idea to take along an extra memory card or two
just in case you experience an unexpected memory card
problem.
Formatting is recommended for any memory card that you
suspect contains corrupted image data (due to a RECORD
ERROR, strange image colors, malformed images) or for
newly purchased memory cards.
Before starting a format operation, switch to AC adaptor
power or load a new set of recommended batteries into the
camera.
