Installing and Removing a Memory Card

You cannot take photos unless an SD memory card is installed in your camera.cCaution:

Do not use the SD memory card with dust or lint on the terminal. If the terminal of the card is dirty, data import or export may not be executed properly.

Never insert or remove a memory card while the SD card access LED is being lit. Doing so may cause data in the card to be lost or damaged.

Avoid using or storing the card in direct sunlight, or in places that are extremely hot, humid, or dusty.

Keep the memory card slot cover closed while the memory card is loaded. This protects the memory card and the slot from dust and static; otherwise data on the memory card may be lost or damaged.

Exposure of static electric shock to the memory card may cause this product to malfunction.

Note:

To use a memory card correctly, read manuals provided with the memory card. When using other devices with a memory card, also read manuals provided with those devices.
