• Memory cards are small and can be swallowed; keep out of reach of children. If a child swallows a memor y card,
seek medical assistance immediately.

normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly
remove the card.
• Do not a x labels to memory cards. Peeling labels can cause camera malfunction.
• Movie recording may be interrupted with some types of memory card. Use a card with a class 4 write speed

• The data in internal memory may be erased or corrupted when the camera is repaired. Please note that the
repairer will be able to view pictures in internal memory.
• Formatting a memory card or internal memory in the camera creates a folder in which pictures are stored. Do

use the camera to delete pictures from memory cards and internal memory; before editing or renaming les,
copy them to a computer and edit or rename the copies, not the originals.
