Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that has been digitally copied or
reproduced by means of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punish-
able by law.
• Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced
Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds,
or local government bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped
“Sample.”
The copying or reproduction of paper money, coins, or securities which are cir-
culated in a foreign country is prohibited.
Unless the prior permission of the government has been obtained, the copying
or reproduction of unused postage stamps or post cards issued by the govern-
ment is prohibited.
The copying or reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certi-
fied documents stipulated by law is prohibited.
• Cautions on certain copies and reproductions
The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities
issued by private companies (shares, bills, checks, gift certificates, etc.), com-
muter passes, or coupon tickets, except when a minimum of necessary copies
are to be provided for business use by a company. Also, do not copy or repro-
duce passports issued by the government, licenses issued by public agencies
and private groups, ID cards, and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.
• Comply with copyright notices
The copying or reproduction of copyrighted creative works such as books,
music, paintings, woodcut prints, maps, drawings, movies, and photographs is
governed by national and international copyright laws. Do not use this product
for the purpose of making illegal copies or to infringe copyright laws.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as
memory cards or built-in camera memory does not completely erase the original
image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage
devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the mali-
cious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another per-
son, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and
then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for exam-
ple, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the
welcome screen (c 89). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to prop-
erty when physically destroying data storage devices.
