Inserting a Memory Card

3Cautions

Do not turn the camera off or remove the memory card while the memory card is being formatted or data are being recorded to or deleted from the card. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.

Format memory cards before fi rst use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device. For more information on formatting memory cards, see page 98.

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

miniSD or microSD adapters that are larger or smaller than the standard dimensions of an SD card may not eject normally; if the card does not eject, take the camera to an authorized service representative. Do not forcibly remove the card.

Do not affix 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 (4 MB/s) or better when shooting HD movies.

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