IMPORTANT!
•You can format a memory card on the camera or on a computer. However formatting a memory card on a computer takes much longer.
•Note that data deleted by a format operation cannot be recovered. Make sure you do not have any useful data currently stored on a memory card before you format it.
Memory Card Precautions
1.Use only a SD memory card with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.
2.Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenomena can cause data corruption or even loss. Always make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard drive, etc.).
3.If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can restore normal operation by reformatting it. However, we recommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
4.We recommend that you format a memory card before using it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal pictures. Remember to format a memory card if it was used in another digital camera or other devices.
