Card Built-in memory

This means that an operation is in progress, such as the recording, reading, or deleting of pictures. Do not turn off the power or remove the battery, card, or AC adaptor (DMW- AC5PP, sold separately) (this may cause damage to or loss of data).

Pictures may be copied between cards and the built-in memory (P.73). It is recommended that you copy important pictures to your computer (as electromagnetic waves, static electricity, or faults may cause data to be damaged).

Cards

Always format (P.73) cards in this camera before first use.
If the switch on the card is set to ‘LOCK’, operations such
as formatting, copying, and deleting cannot be performed.
