zDo not use or store memory cards in the following locations.

• Locations subject to dust or sand

• Locations subject to high humidity and high temperatures

zSince some or all of the data recorded on the memory card may be corrupted or erased by electrical noise, static electricity, camera or memory card malfunction, making a backup copy of important data is recommended.

zPlease note that formatting (initializing) a memory card erases all data, including protected images.

zYou are recommended to use memory cards that have been

formatted in your camera.

•When the camera is malfunctioning, a corrupted memory card might be the cause. Reformatting the memory card may solve the problem.

•Memory cards formatted in other cameras, computers, or peripheral devices may not operate correctly in this camera. When that happens, reformat the memory card with this camera.

zIf formatting in the camera does not work properly, turn the camera off and re-insert the memory card. Then turn the camera back on and format again.

zBe careful when transferring or disposing of a memory card. Formatting or erasing the data on a memory card merely changes the file management information on the memory card and does not ensure that its contents are completely deleted. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions, such as physically destroying the memory card, to prevent personal information leaks.
