USING A MEMORY CARD

Memory Card Precautions

Use only an SD memory card or a MultiMedia Card 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 check to make sure that the battery is at full charge. Power interruption during the format operation can result in improper formatting, and even damage the memory card and make it unusable.
