How to handle SD memory cards

Some SD memory cards may have a write-protect tab. Sliding the tab down- ward prevents recording of data and protects

existing data (e.g. images). When recording to, erasing from or formatting the memory card, slide the tab upward.



Ensure that the memory card is correctly oriented before inserting it in the camera. It may damage the camera if inserted backward by mistake.

Cautions When Handling SD memory cards:

ϘϘ Memory cards are high-precision electronic devices. Do not bend them, apply force to them, or subject them to shocks or ­vibration.

ϘϘ Do not attempt to disassemble or alter the memory card.

ϘϘ Do not allow dirt, water or foreign objects to contact the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch the terminals with your hands or metal objects.

ϘϘ Do not peel away the original label on the memory card or cover it with another label or sticker.

ϘϘ When writing on the memory card, use

asoft point pen (e.g. felt-tip pen). Using a sharp point pen (e.g. ball-point pen) or pencil may damage the memory card or corrupt the recorded data.

ϘϘ Since some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electric- ity, camera or card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recom- mended.

ϘϘ Moving a memory card rapidly between temperature extremes will cause conden-

sation to form in the card and lead to a malfunction. To avoid condensation, place the memory card in a sealed plastic bag before moving it into a different tempera- ture zone and allow it to adjust slowly to the new temperature.

ϘϘ If condensation forms on the memory card, store it at room temperature until the water droplets have evaporated naturally.

ϘϘ Do not use or store memory cards in loca- tions subject to dust or sand nor in loca- tions subject to high humidity and high temperatures
