Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a
write-protect switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from being
recorded on the card, the stored data from
being deleted, and the card from being
formatted by the camera or a computer.

write-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after
using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card
or turn the camera off while images are being played back or saved to the
card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this
may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away
from water and store away from high temperature.
•
Never remove the SD Memory Card while it is being formatted. This may
damage the card and make it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted. This
includes the following:
(1) When the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) When the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
(3) When the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) When the SD Memory Card is ejected or the battery is removed while the
data on the card is being recorded or accessed.
• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable.
Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.
• Avoid using or storing the card where it may be exposed to static electricity or
electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight or where it may be exposed
to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may
stop while you are taking movies even when there is adequate space in the
memory, or shooting and playback may take a long time.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on
another camera. Refer to “Formatting the Memory” (p.230).
