electromagnetic waves, static electricity, or faults may cause data to be damaged).

Picture save destination
Pictures will be saved to a card if one is inserted, or to the built-in memory if not.
This means that an operation is in progress, such as the
recording, reading, or deleting of pictures. Do not turn off the
power or remove the battery, card, or AC adaptor (DMW-
AC5PP, sold separately) (this may cause damage to or loss
of data).
