kCautions when handling the cards

i The cards are precision devices. Do not bend, drop, or subject them to

strong forces or shocks.

i Avoid using or storing the cards in places with extremely high or low temperatures, subject to direct sunlight, in a completely closed vehicle, near air conditioners or heaters, or in humid or dusty locations.

i Avoid using or storing the cards in locations where strong static electrical charges or electrical noise can be easily generated.

i Do not allow the edges of the cards to become contaminated with foreign materials. Gently wipe away any contamination with a soft, dry cloth.

i Do not carry the cards in trouser pockets, as the cards may become damaged when you sit down or make other movements that may apply forces.

i Before using a new card or a card that was used in other equipment, be sure to format it using the camera (see “FORMATTING A CARD” on page 129).

i When buying commercially available products, carefully read the instructions and warnings that come with the card.

i An SD Memory Card is not included with Model VPC-C4GX.

k Caution concerning high temperatures

i During shooting, when the internal temperature of the camera becomes high, the \icon will appear on the LCD monitor. When the \icon appears, it is still possible to capture and play back images for a while. However, if the temperature rises further, it will become impossible to record (although playback will still be possible). In this case, discontinue shooting as soon as possible, and wait until the temperature falls before using the camera again.

Note that particularly when shooting video clips, soon after the \icon appears, the remaining shooting time indication will appear, and when that figure becomes 00:00:00, further shooting is impossible.
