Precautions on Using the Memory Stick Duo
Maintenance of the Memory Stick Duo
(Hereafter the Memory Stick Duo is referred to as the "Memory Card".)
The camera comes with 32MB of internal flash memory, allowing you to store images and movie clips in the camera. However, you can expand the memory capacity by using an optional memory card so that you can store more images and movie clips.
Be sure to format the memory card (see p. 58) if you are using a newly purchased memory for the first time, if it contains data that the camera cannot recognize, or if it contains images captured with a different camera.
Turn off the camera power whenever the memory card is being inserted or removed.
Repeated use of the memory card will eventually reduce the memory card's performance. Should this be the case, you will need to purchase a new memory card.
Wear and tear on the memory card is not covered by the Samsung warranty.
The memory card is an electronic precision device. Do not bend, drop or subject the memory card to any heavy impact.
Do not store the memory card in an environment with strong electronic or magnetic fields, e.g. near loud speakers or TV receivers.
Please do not use or store in an environment where there are extremes in temperature.
Do not allow the memory card to become dirty or to come into contact with any liquid. Should this happen, clean the memory card with a soft cloth.
Please keep the memory card in its case when not in use.
During and after periods of extended use, you may notice that the memory card is warm. This is perfectly normal.
Do not use a memory card that has been used in another digital camera or memory card reader.
Do not use a memory card formatted by another digital camera or memory card reader.

Samsung cannot be held responsible for lost data.
