Memory Card Precautions
Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMediaCard with this camera. Proper operation is not guaranteed when any other type of card is used.
Electrostatic charge, electrical noise, and other phenom- ena can cause data to become corrupted or even lost. Al- ways make sure that you always back up important data on other media (MO disc, computer hard disk, etc.)
If a memory card starts to behave abnormally, you can re- store normal operation by reformatting it. However, we rec- ommend that you always take along more than one memory card whenever using the camera far away from the home or office.
We recommend that you format a memory card before us- ing it for the first time after purchasing it, or whenever the card you are using seems to be the cause of abnormal im- ages.
Before starting a format operation, connect the AC adaptor for power or load a full set of fresh alkaline or lithium batter- ies. Power interruption during the format operation can re- sult in improper formatting, and even damage the memory card and make it unusable.
