Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or where it may be
exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain
high performance.
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 computer. The message appears on the display when the card
is 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 the data is 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 remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage
the card and render it unusable.
The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(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 card is being 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.
Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been
previously used on another camera.
Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the
built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted files
can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is
user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
