when the camera is off. Connecting or disconnecting
the AC power adapter while the camera is on

which will stop the recording of images or movies being
shot. Failing to turn the camera off before connecting/
disconnecting can also result in damage to the xD-
Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

easily accessible.

country of use.
