Appendix
• Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data to
become corrupted or even lost. Make sure that you always back up important data
on other media (CD-R, CD-RW, hard disk, etc.).
. Memory Card Handling Precautions
Certain types of memory cards can slow down processing speeds. In particular, you
may experience problems saving high-quality (HD) movies. When using the camera’s
built-in memory or certain types of memory cards, it can take too much time to record
data, which can result in breaks in the image and/or audio. This condition is indicated
by the movie icon turning yellow on the monitor screen. Use of a memory card with a
maximum transfer speed of at least 10MB per second is recommended.
. Discarding or Transferring Ownership of a Memory Card or the
Camera
• The format and delete functions of the camera do not actually delete files from the
memory card. The original data remains on the card. Note that responsibility for the
data on a memory card lies with you. The following procedures are recommended
whenever you discard a memory card or the camera, or if you transfer ownership to
another party.
– When discarding a memory card, either physically destroy the memory card or
use commercially available data delete software to completely delete the data on
the memory card.
– When transferring ownership of a memory card to another party, use
commercially available data deletion software to completely delete the data on it.
Use the format function (page 90) to completely delete the data in built-in memory
before discarding or transferring ownership of the camera.
